Getting our tools together for our first day of work Getting everything loaded up    Make sure we have enough stuff Our first assignment...cleaning up a yard where the house was completely wiped out A fallen tree needed to be removed
Kristy gets her hands dirty, but is careful to not push herself too hard! Clipping limbs Picking up branches and debris Will was the weed-whacker master! Chet and John show the tree who's boss
Carol adds to the growing pile of debris Aleca barely breaks a sweat!    Who's the coolest dude out here? Now that's teamwork   Even Angel gets into the action
Addison makes friends with a frog    No one wanted to make friends with this guy...a black widow spider!   Nothing is more manly than cutting through a tree with a chainsaw!   Chet picks up most of the tree trunk by himself The yard after we were done
And the pile of debris that we collected A job well-done! Off to our next task... This next yard needed a lot of cleanup and TLC Hauling away an old dog house The guys pull from the front...
    ...while the gals push from behind     Adding the dog house to the debris pile We accumulated quite a pile of junk Then we received a visit from our guardian angel...the Ice Cream Man! Nothing's better than ice cream on a hot day
The group listens as the home owner tells us her story Everyone in the Gulf Coast area has an amazing story to tell While we're hanging out, I want to introduce you to someone... ...the Mutant Dog!!! No neck? No problem!
Another job well-done! Driving around, all you see are concrete slabs. This one only has a toilet left on it. A sign on this house shows how high the water got How this house is still standing is a miracle This church didn't fare as well. Completely wiped out.
That pretty much says it all
