... picture. You are in your house on Monday and there is one inch of water under you house. Then Tuesday comes, and the levee breaks, now your house is covered in three feet of water, and you are no longer able to drive. The water levels keep rising and you don't even know how to swim. This is what happened to the owner of our site, Mrs. Williams. She and her mother were evacuated in a helicopter from the roof of their house. Rescue workers cut a whole in the roof and lifted them out. I can't begin to comprehend what it would be like to go through this, and then, five years later, still not have a house to live in. I feel blessed to be working with team F.A.F. (Freak'n. Awesome. Framers) in helping to give her this house back. It is hot and humid and everyone works with a smile. We are not just fixing houses, but creating homes.
