Day two and the house on Berenwood is virtually empty, save for the studs and the odd nail. Chad and Andrew tag-teamed tearing down the ceilings in each room while Cory and Asla wrecked the attic space.





Our newest addition, Liz (from Michigan) took out the kitchen cabinets like it was nobody's business. Imagine Thor in real life, but with a longer hammer/pick axe. Beautiful. By the way, she beat her court case. Also, today we were able to work with a two living legends. First, was Guy Patrick, who actually helped to start Habitat for Humanity in the counties of Clark and Madison, Kentucky. The other living legend's name was José Cabrera, who volunteers with Habitat for three days a week and travels the country in his RV.

Some of the group members listening intently to The Mr. Guy Patrick.
Note well- that Chad has failed fashion 101, he wore all white after Labor Day. I just can't...


The Tyvek suit modeled by Asla, and José's RV in the background.

It is astonishing the rate at which we've cleaned out the single-level house. We'll be getting more rain the next two days, but hopefully by Friday we will be able to take the siding off the house.

We found a passionate love letter stashed in the attic;
the writer clearly didn't understand the concept of a "Dear John" letter.


Ms. Willis and her two children came to visit us today, a little more excited at the prospect of having their own home. Seeing their faces is a good reminder of what we are working for.

We are all about saving energy around here...so...
