Day 22 - Build Day 7 (St Bernard Project)

Guest blog today! This is filler until I can complete the post on my own :)

----------------

We started off the day with a lovely cereal bar provided by the Camp Hope. While we were getting ready for the day a few of the guys decided to get creative with their facial hair. Super stylish mustaches and other awesome things that I'm not sure I know the names of! Then it was off to the build site! We went back to the same mint green house we had been working on in the 9th ward. I worked on the second floor of the house which is where I had been working most of the week. We started off the day with some really intense paceline sanding, which was hilarious and surprisingly kind of efficient. Most of the day we worked on sanding, mudding, skimming, and priming while another group was outside painting the exterior of the house. It was a very productive day and we even got done a little bit early! We were all a little sad to be working with the awesome AmeriCorps volunteers (Jack, Amy, and Amelia) for the last time. However some of us were able to hangout with them for a little while after building, which was really fun! After that we headed back to Camp Hope for showers and some dinner! Then we were off to do some more exploring in New Orleans! It was nice to hit some favorite spots from earlier in the week, but also check out some new and exciting places!
