Through the magic of Windows Movie Maker, I whipped up a short video on the day I spent gutting a home with ACORN on Caffin Avenue in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward. The goal was to return the house back to its owners with it stripped down to the studs -- leaving nothing but frame, roof, foundation, and siding. With 20 or so volunteers, it was short work:
It was like we were termites or some sort of scavenger animals that just strip a building or a body down to the bare bones. But, you know, in a good way.
