Habitat work

We are keeping busy here! I did electrical work today (Have any idea what salt water does to thin walled metallic conduit?) but it looks like I get to head a crew to do some floor work tomorrow. I know living in the Keys sounds exotic and like everyone should be rich, but there are lots of elderly or handicapped on a fixed income, who were here long before it became a vacation paradise, who are living on the fringes and about to go under. Yesterday we were doing drywall at a house for an older man who is getting Chemo, and can no longer make it to the upstairs living area, but his downstairs room had 4 ft of water during the Hurricane and the drywall had to come out up to that level. It may not be much in the scheme of things down here, but it does feel like we are making a difference in some people's lives, anyway.
