Just because gross stories are fun to share. I must let y'all know about the 'Pigeon house'. This house had over a foot of Pigeon poop upstairs. The ceiling came down leaving the rafters were a whole colony must have lived and died (there was an absurd amount of pigeon bones everywhere) Not only that, the neighbor was forced to evacuate and the authorities would not let him bring his two pit bulls. So he went next door and put them upstairs with a beg of dog food and must have filled the tub full of water for them. Well, the city was flooded and the dogs died and left their bones, black and gray skins and a stench and that bath tube containing thick black Katrina water had a smell that could knock out a house once stirred. It was lots of fun getting that tube out of the house! One day I was tared in sweat and feathered in Pigeon poo, for I happened to be in the dump trailer when someone tossed out a snow shovel of it out the window :) I enjoyed my shower that afternoon!
The brown stuff is Pigeon poo
"Katrina water"
Pit-bull bones
I forgot to mention. This house was LOADED. There was photograher who lived here and a lawyer, and they had lots of book, magazines, photos and stuff.
Some of the houses have taken us a long time to finish; we've kept sending teams to take another bite of the elephants and they're all just about gone! So we started a new house today with a 7th day Adventist youth group from Chico, California, full of amazingly hard workers.
