His house is almost habitable. That makes Earnest Hammond, 71, almost giddy.
"C'mon and look at this!" he said on a recent afternoon, eager to usher a visitor through his front door.
Stacks of wallboard sat sit in his living room, waiting to be installed. Throughout the 7th Ward house that Hammond bought in 1973, the freshly sandblasted interior smelled like new wood, and the wall frames were strung with brand-new wiring and filled with insulation, thanks to the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana's Rebuild Program and its volunteers.
