The Greenhouse

I'm sitting at our exceptionally large living room table, listening to jazz on the provided house MP3 speakers, as three others from the team cook dinner, two others are on the front porch, and the other two are taking showers. (Yes, separately... We have two bathrooms)

After a long but productive day of work and PT, I've decided that its blog-time. Have a gander at where we're living:

Behold, the Greenhouse. Only in New Orleans (and perhaps others), where housing color-coding laws don't exist will you see an NCCC team living in something like this. We moved in this past Saturday, and the 9 of us have made ourselves home already, gearing up for six weeks of residing together.


In theory, housing of our size with two bedrooms for 8 people might not sound like a picnic. But it's luxury for Badger 6, and we're loving it so far. We've got a great porch to relax at or escape to. We're about a 10-minute walk to the French Quarter, and the bywater is about 10 minutes the other way. The warehouse for Rebuilding Together is next door to us. And we've got air conditioning, so sometimes its debatable whether or not visiting any of these places is necessary.

But in all seriousness, we've got it made this round. This seems to be an organization that's very serious about what they do, and we've all felt uber productive this week joining their crew. I think we'll be accomplishing a lot this round, but you know us... Badger 6 usually does that anyway.
