Making It Right
OK kids, what's unser those tarps? The answer is... nothing!! (Yeah, OK, that's what I thought too, but there's a method here.) This is all part of Brad Pitt's 'Making It Right' organization. Each group of body and roof structures represents one of the 150+ homes that are planned here. When enough money is donated to complete one house, one body structure will be moved square onto its lot and the roof sections placed on top.
Now I'm sure you're thinking the same thing I was: "Couldn't they build an entire home for the cost of all this pink tarp and the labour to put it up?" Well, possibly, but much of the parts and labour is donated and Mr Pitt himself is donating the money for the first seven houses. (About one-million dollars, so there.)
