Who's House? Jamaal's House!

I took a half day of vacation to go with Jamaal to his house for the first time since Katrina hit. Pictures from the outside don't show anything compared to what the inside looks like. As we were collecting some belongings for the Savwoir family I said to Jamaal, "You know, a year ago today we were all chilling on Waiheke Island. Who knew that a year later we'd be doing this?!" What a difference a year makes. BTW, those aren't his stairs in the backyard, we're not sure where they came from or who they belong to.
