This area of the town was the slums, and one of the few areas left untouched. But unlike the spared places, it was in need of dire attention.
Without fight or fuss from the men, they would begin to moving and placing the lumber. Most of it cut and measured beforehand. She herself would take to dismantling some of the more weathered abandoned structures. Taking a hammer in hand, she got to work.
