  1. Wow!
    The house is going to be fantastic! I have one on Calle 72 51×53…which needs everything! I spoke with Victor Cruz last year and liked him very much but couldn’t do anything due to slow market on my NYC apartment. But, now I have a buyer and should close in a few weeks so I will be able to make some expensive decisions.
    Funny, Your 8×80 pool! I have had the idea of a 8X40 fit pool which seemed a bit extreme but the important thing with a pool is to be able to have a swim not just a dunk.
    You may not remember me; I was on the Keith house tour with my daughter Emily when you were there. I am so glad we are connected; it’s good to be in touch with others who are doing the big renovation.
