Exploring

Due to rain on our last day we unable to continue working (although our team had already finished their job). Instead, we toured some more of the community, including the Jimmy Carter Build, tornado stricken areas, and the ReStore.  We were all pretty worn out anyway, so more work was just out of the question.

The Jimmy Carter Build was the first stop. This was a newly completed community of 32 homes, all are Energy Star rated, and they are in the process of creating an HOA.

Next we saw more of devastation from the tornado a couple weeks ago.  The amount of damage was unbelievable, and the impact is difficult to explain.  There were houses with the roof ripped off and everything gone from inside, cars picked up and dropped, windows blown out, and at some foundations were all that was left.  It gave you chills to look at it, and there is no way that we could ever come close to understanding what the people effected are feeling.

              

The ReStore was the final stop.  It was quite impressive and I do believe we could steal a few ideas from them.  I took a little video to take everyone on a tour, enjoy!
