October 7, 2018 1. Thank you again for the trip, which I enjoyed very much. 2. I agree with you that removing four of the inside video cameras so as not to give workmen the feeling they were being watched was appropriate. 3. This morning, I ask myself (and you) whether leaving the house, aside from the basement, in disorder especially with trash strewn around the first floor, is not sending the workmen the wrong message, namely that we are indifferent to the quality their work, especially where plastering is purely decorative and neatness is of the essence. 4. This morning, I ask myself (and you) whether we should not defer the insulating and the plastering until we have had a chance to take the trash to the dump, to sweep all the floors, and otherwise to make the 1st and 2nd floor as neat as possible.
