Friends star David Schwimmer is getting his Manhattan mansion up to people with money standards, and EV Grieve points out that this morning there were some large pieces of nature hoisted up to his rooftop on East 6th Street. A tipster told the site, "There is a lot getting dropped onto the roof of the Schwimmer manse. Trees and a huge silo shaped thing just landed." What's next: pool? Hot tub? Slip n' Slide?
This delivery of finishing touches means that construction is likely done—for those not keeping up on celebrity real estate, there has been some controversy over the home, as locals were not very pleased when the actor tore down a rather pretty historic house to build this mansion.
Even when playing a humble paleontologist on the sitcom, Schwimmer Ross has some pretty enviable digs.
