Tuesday

The day began with a slow awakening, everyone groggy and tired. As soon as we got to the house, everyone began working hard. One group cutting pipes with 150 old water, another clearing out a entire room, and the last destroying a porch. The group cutting the pipes got extremely dirty from the water while the second group had a few laughs watching the last group rip the porch off with a truck. After a fairly productive morning, a new job had to be done, clearing hourse plaster off the wall. This plaster is full of horse hair and, when falls in your hair becomes messy. After the DE-plastering was finished the next job was to haul buckets of cement up to(that is, haul DOWN cement) and begin to reinforce the walls with mortar, a messy task to say the least. At the same time pipes were being cut, plaster coming down, and rooms being destroyed. Then came the fun part: destroy a bathroom. People got to smash a sink, a toliet, and the walls around it with a sludge hammer. The floor was covered with broken porcelain and, well, sawdust.
