So week 1 was my construction week, and I’ll have to admit before going I was really wondering whether or not I was going to like construction. I now know that i love it. My bus was assigned to the Westbank area and day one I got attached to roofing. I still don’t know how much of that was just because of how badass of a job it is. Standing up there on an angle, hammering in nails, in the heat. But I fully embraced my role, don’t know if i would want or could do that for a living but for a few days working for habitat, I was a roofer. We also ended up working for some awesome Habitat leads, including Terri who ended up inviting us 2-weekers to a block party with regular NOLA residents and a jazz brunch on Sunday that had some amazing jazz.
