Hey Bill, Thanks for all you do. Being a resident of a town only a little ways from New Orleans I deeply appreciate your willingness to help us. Your analysis is dead on on the difficulties of rebuilding. Many, many of the homes in NO where far below code before the storms and now it makes you want to cry. Keep fighting the good fight and hopefully we will get this city back in time.
Ray

Hey ” Mr Bill ” , ” Mr Pete ” from SLO town Ca. Couldn’t believe when I saw that the article was about you and what you have been doing in ” Narlins “. Good Job and keep up the good work. Hope to see you when you come back to Arroyo Grande ! Peter L Watson

Mr. Robinson,

Thank you, both for your time with the people of New Orleans, and for shining a light on an issue I have previously not seen covered. As the construction manager for a local non-profit I cannot begin to describe how accurate your observations have been.

Our organization has adopted a philosophy that if we cannot do something right, we won’t do it. Sometimes this means subcontracting, or waiting for experienced tradespeople to volunteer. (Come Monday I’m hoping for a mason, and a concrete guy) Our experienced volunteers have always been critical in not just finishing one house, but in providing tips, techniques and skills that can be utilized long after they have left, and I cannot begin to describe how beneficial they have been to the success of our program.

As a personal sidenote, I would also like to send my appreciation to Mr. Katz and the contributors of This is Carpentry. Your shared knowledge has truly helped to develop a young carpenter, and I cannot begin to describe what an honor it is to even be posting in the same forum.
