Is that a St. Olaf student under all that protective gear? Sure is. It's sophomore Amy Ny working from the rafters of a home in Forest Heights, Gulfport, Miss. earlier today. 
Students "gut" a house, leaving only the frame and studs. 
Ole Spring Relief Committee III member Chris Peterson '09 suits up to haul sheetrock and insulation out of the house his group gutted. 
Students didn't seem to mind wearing protective face masks and goggles for some of their projects today. In fact, some of them seemed quite comfortable in all the gear. 
The interior of a gutted house that one St. Olaf group worked on today with Habitat For Humanity's thorugh the Jimmy Carter Project. Habitat usually builds houses, but in cases like this one, where the exterior of the home can be salvaged, the houses are stripped down to the framework so that new walls and wiring can be put in. This is called a "Re-Hab" project.
