I spent the morning at a client's place. He plays with money for a living and is rich enough to afford a penthouse apartment in Chelsea (prob 1.5 to 2 million), to contemplate spending $100,000 or more on a basically meaningless alteration, to waste a few hours of my billable time, and to buy some expensive-looking art.
But at least my place isn't entirely decorated with Ikea furniture.

I'm jealous too.
He only goes to Ikea for the meatballs.
to waste a few hours of my billable time
If it was billable, how could it be a waste? Boring, yes, but not *ka-ching* a waste.
Not a waste for me billing, a waste for him because he blew a few hundred and got nothing useful. A tip to hiring consultants when you don't know what you want: GIGO.
And I'll bet you five dollars that he was buying the art as an "investment." It burns.
See, it works. Now you feel superior, too.

I'd be curious to know what the alteration is.
He has the top floor and rights to the roof. No one uses the public stair from the top floor to the roof but him, but he was asking me about how he would install a private stair within the apartment with a new bulkhead on the roof.
