He said that this is the =irst time he is hearing of this and cannot do this in the last hour. =nbsp;lf we mentioned before work began he would have =onsidered. Regarding invoices above i told him 58,843 and 8,000 were as =riginally agreed to and we were ok to pay. I told =im that when we agreed to 260,000 he specifically said that he would =ot nickel and dime us on small stuff and that i =elieved invoices for Island Rigging (2,670 & 4,123) and Subbase =,518 felt like we were being nickeled and dimed after almost =60,000 in work with him. He strongly =isagreed and went on with all the extra work he did. I told him =hat i would like to pay him 58,843 and 8,000 today and we would revisit = other small charges totaling 10,311 on =onday. I think at best i can get him to agree to 50% of 10,311 as =e is being very firm. He also said he stands by all his work that =e just completed. Gene will release boat this afternoon to Bosco if we pay =6,843 Please advise =f ok to pay 66,843 Thank you Richard Kahn HBRK Associates Inc. 575 Lexington =venue 4th Floor 1 EFTA_R1_01444645 EFTA02404751
