RE:

hand held for steam room?; basement kitchen repaired?

Mr. Epstein Sorry for the delay getting back to you today no cell phone rule on the Golf course, the Grohe hand held is on order also meeting with the grohe representative in person tomorrow to go over the LS shower parts order for Gary Kerner. The plumbing Supply said Tuesday or Wednesday the latest for the hand held unit For 71st street. The basement Kitchen, Cleaned up fire area replaced damaged ceiling tiles around freezer area, checked freezer for repair beyond repair, put doors back on pushed freezer back into space until I can have Junk Pros rubbish company come in to remove it, this is on my schedule for Monday afternoon for removal. If there is any other rubbish you or Sara can think of and would like thrown out this would be a good time, due to a minimum flat rate they charge. Richard

I also would like to decide on energy, plan, where are we?

Good Morning Mr. Epstein at our last meeting most of the energy savings Source One recommended that we discussed were mechanical upgrades, free cooling cycle new chiller capacity, removal of old carrier chiller, upgrade otis elevator power system generator, with expensive installation costs long pay back periods for the projects. It appeared at that time you did not want to pursue any of the recommended upgrades from SourceOne. We also looked into the purchase of energy from a different source than Con Edison and with the rising fuel costs due to the gulf crisis and other problems in middle east; we were told by Source One it was a bad time to try to lock into a second party vendor being the energy commodity rises with the problems. I agree with you 100% I feel at this time we need to lock into a plan with a second party vendor being Con Edison has just announced they will be raising their utility cost 12% in NYC we will contact Source one today for rates with someone else.
