Billie Joe Armstrong has posted a second account of his time in New Orleans at Greenday.net.
Armstrong reports that "Today was a great day. The house is really coming together. It was great to see everyone busting their asses to get this house together. I asked Ben how long it took so far for the house to get put up at this point. He said 8 weeks!! That's incredible. He's also taking the extra scraps of lumber and reusing it into green building"."Another special moment today was the ice cream truck passing by. All the kids (and grownups) ran the truck down for a hot afternoon treat. The ice cream truck music had a bit of a 808 drumbeat to it so everyone was kind of dancing as they were eating snow cones".
"Adrienne's painting looks really great. The owner of the house picked great colors".
"And I don't know about you, Jason, but I think I'll be dreaming about extremely high ladders and soffit for the rest of my life"!!
Billie Joe and his wife Adrienne plus two boys Joey and Jakob are in New Orleans volunteering for the Habitat for Humanity project.
