Josh if you are reading this, we hope you like the nabe a lot! We are happy you hung on and waited for your place. It looks really nice. I saw it b4 it was completed and the roof deck was stunning as were the finishes. You got a bargain compared to what the price would be now!!
i read the paper paper still. everyday. i refuse to read it online. i need the newsprint on my hands.
who needs a spouse when there are wheaten terriers?!
Any photos of the interiors?
Nice work!
