He began to tell me that there are currently 4 layers of =aint and it will take him 3-4 weeks to strip, neutralize and =leanse Then the library must be finished better =han the front doors and this will take another 3-4 weeks He said 50,000 and i said no way then 45,000 and i said no =ay then he said the best he can do is 40,000 (labor and =aterials) He can begin August Sth or 6th Please advise Thank you Prior work at 71st =treet: Front Door 11,750 Library & Stairs 35,000 Richard Kahn HBRK Associates Inc Begin forwarded message: From: =/b>Brandon Thompso Subject: =/b>Re: Panel Date: qb>July 25, 2015 at 10:01:35 AM =DT To: =/b>Richard Kahn Dear Richard, My apology for not getting any sooner to respond. In all my previous works for Mr. Epstein, I did not performed =ompletely new finish. I did the surface work. In =he Library, second floor at 9 E 71st Street,. It was only waxing, =lthough I performed more work as I saw it necessary to treat the tiny =racks in the finish. I performed Boiled Linseed Oil treatment to insure =irst quality work, and than wax. This job is =ifferent. It requires stripping entire Library surface to the bare wood =nd than starting anew. EFTA_R1_00134186 EFTA01797271 The best thing at this =oment would be to ask some other contractors to bid on this job, and I =o not mind to be underdog. Please, collect all the bids, and I will do =he work absolutely first class for less. I will =ry to call you Monday after 9:00 am.
