The Brick Wall

Today was awesome! We were demolishing a brick wall. We went to the office in the morning and our sponsor was showing one of the construction managers how to use a masonry saw. This was no ordinary saw. It was twice the size of a chainsaw and had a blade as big as a pizza pie. We drove to a house in the St Bernard parish. One of the exterior walls of the house was damaged by the storm. We took our saw and cut a straight line through the brick then we got sledge hammers and crowbars and knocked the rest down. It was awesome! It was the best work day yet. Now we, or other volunteers, will be able to patch up the wall and make it good as new.

Hey I'm showing a little love from the Sacramento campus. Remember to take a step back and reflect on every good time you have this year. It flies by(sounds like a high school year book signature). Enjoy your year!
