This past Saturday we started our morning at New Orleans' Green Project. They are an architectural salvage company who has managed to save lots of original items from blighted properties. When restoring historic properties these places come in handy and keep you out of Home Depot. We found some floor boards just the right size to replace the damaged ones on the kitchen floor. We noticed the wood was milled in the old Bogalusa mill years ago. You can't help but notice the quality of the past. It is a great feeling to be recycling throughout this whole process.
When we returned from our hunt we found my neighbor "Jr." sweeping leaves so we joined him with the blower and finished the job together. Everywhere we drove Saturday there was construction going on. The crew working on the St. Roch Market is working 24 hour shifts. Very exciting!
The new wood installed.
