Mississippi, 1st trip to old house

What is left of our MS house

David spent March 30- April 1st down in our old home town of Pascagoula. He went to help move my father into our house there. After Katrina, a church group came in and gutted the whole house. It is down to studs and sub-floors. The only remaining fixture is the bath tub. All cabinets, sinks, walls, everything is gone.

On Thursday, the 30th, they headed down there after hours of loading 2 vehicles and a u-haul trailer to the max. David was able to run an extension cord over from the neighbors and a hose too for the first night. They spent Friday, the 31st, getting inspections for mold, electrical, water, and occupancy. Everything passed. God really blessed David's time there. He was able to come back home on Sunday, or rather early Monday morning.

We spent the week getting ready for Taylor's visit. He is expected on Sunday the 2nd. But, because of the time needed to get the house up and going we have opted to pick him up on Tuesday. He will be bringing his friend Tyler with him.
