Every Little Bit Helps

   Cleanup after any storm is a slow, tedious process if you are wishing to salvage anything.  Stuff has to be pulled from the debris pile, checked for damage then sorted into "keep" or "toss".  We are trying to salvage our pier planks from 1100 ft of a debris line that is 4 ft deep in places.  It is not easy but every plank pulled, every section cleared is progress.  Slow progress but progress just the same.

  My main job is managing the burners so we can eliminate as much of the marsh waste as possible in as short of time as possible.  Son is pulling the pier planks and doing all of the "heavy" work.  I stack the boards to dry them,  It is a teamwork effort but we are working against the clock.  There is a good possibility that another hurricane could be in the Gulf in a few days and having that slam us with the debris still in place would mean devastation.  So, the race is on.  The work is exhausting but we cannot take a break.
