We did ceiling demo today at La Via. no sign of the boys as they were at school the entire time we were there. Our new work leader is Santiago. He's nice but he's very confusing. I get the feeling that he doesn't want to talk to me because I'm a girl. Oh well.
I helped clear debris while Keith and the LSU boys tore down the ceiling. It's basically wooden trusses holding up corrugated roof on block walls. Ceiling tiles that we tore down were hanging as a drop ceiling from a latticework of wood.
A good portion of people spent the day pulling nails out of the wood so it could be reused.
With the tiles down it was easy to see the holes in the tin that have been allowing water to demolish the space for 15-20 years. The sun shines and you can see the beams of light come through, reflecting off the dust that we've been creating in our destructiveness. No wonder this building can't be used when it rains!
This afternoon we went to the mother's project. I was super-awkward and it took a while just watching other people play before I joined in on some soccer with Keith, Daniel, and Bonessa. Soon enough, passing became Meghan in the Middle, which turned into a full-fledged game! Fatima, Glindy, Marco, Andrew, Will, and Pat joined in, too. Good times.
Back to La Via tomorrow.
