Dear Mr. Kahn,

Yes, I will finish the work on the Steps this week.

As you can see, I was bidding on Matt Finish as I was advised =y Marwin. When Mr. Epstein came over he changed his mind and asked me =or "Piano" Finish on the Steps. This took me few days longer, =specially that the Steps were scratched , indented, with nail holes and =o forth. High finish will magnify all imperfections and you have to =oat the surface with few more layers of varnish. Another thing is, the =igher finish require few more coats of varnish. This in itself will =elay the deadline to finish, as I need to let all the layers of varnish =ry well. Every consecutive layer of varnish will dry longer than the =revious one, this is why it takes so long. Nevertheless, Steps will be =inished this week. The reason I was postponing the decision on the date =f flight is, I do not want to leave the work at the House unfinished =hile I am estimating new project. I would like to close something I =ave started before.

I can fly to New Mexico in the =iddle of next week. La Guardia will be better for me than Kennedy =irport, is just closer. I will look again into the flights and get back =ith you tomorrow. Kindly, Brandon On 2/18/2015 10:02 AM, Richard Kahn wrote:
