We had seen the house on tours by the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio Foundation, and we fell in love with it. We decided to buy the home, and negotiated for it for more than a year before we closed.

The original furniture had been sold off, and we tracked it down and measured and replicated it. It was incredibly expensive to buy back. For example, a reclining chair sold for $10,000 about 10 years ago.

We thought we could live there and do a little at a time. But it still had the original electric system and it was a fire hazard. Also, it was more cost effective to do everything at once.

When the new home construction and everything does begin in New Orleans, it is going to be tight and it will have a long term effect.

Our goal this year was to get a home playoff game as a young team. We?re playing well, and we still have a chance at that.

It was very stressful. I lost my home.
