More volunteers in the 9th ward

Working next to us was a young group of teenagers from Maine. They were cleaning out this nasty house that the owners claimed to be coming back to live here again. These teens surely deserved credit for working in such dire conditions. The pink house in the bottom photo is called a shotgun house. They were built long and skinny because it was cheaper to own as they were charged by the number of feet in the front of the house.
