To: atusyllieevacationggmaii.comi From: Sent Sat 1/12/2013 7:03:54 PM Subject: Paris Painting Cost I have been trying to get a fixed number from Valdson He says he cannot give me a quote before they start as he is unsure exactly how long it will take etc. He said it will be about half of what was quoted from the previous people (Pintos people I think). I have asked to sec if she has this previous quote. He says Mr Epstein says it would be fine / said Valdson you decide, and he doesnt understand why I am now requesting a number for Rich Kahn. Time Frame The time frame he has given for the upstairs section is 5 weeks. This seems ridiculous. It is the small office and only the ceiling in the bedroom as the walls have fabric on them. And the little corridor. I understand they will have to prepare and cover the fabric walls carefully but 5 weeks still sounds too long. To give us some idea. Michael was averaging 3 days to paint our studio apartments and 4-5 days to paint the 1 bedrooms. Ion painted Svets 1 bedroom in 5-6 days and I think he did Sarahs entire apartment in Venetian plaster in 3 weeks. Valdson has also told me that he would prefer to do the upstairs section first and then do the gym/guest bathroom at a later stage. For 2 reasons - I. You can see whether you are happy with the upstairs before proceeding further. (the upstairs is the majority of the work though.) 2. He thinks the damage in the gym is dampness and would like to wait for a couple of months until the weather is better. The painting should obviously be done while you are not in Paris. You are set to go on the 24th and Valdson is taking leave from the 15th February, which takes us into April. EFTA_R1_00347792 EFTA01911322
