Build-n-Share Challenge #157-158 • Fallout Shelter
While standing next to your office window, you overlook the festivities celebrating Independence Day waiting for you final appointment of the day to show up. Just then Rose buzzes on the intercom. "Your 4 O'Clock appointment is here." She announces.
"Go ahead and bring him in Rose." You say as you take a seat, pulling a file to you. You've been over Charlie Knox's file multiple times and still can't get over the oddness of his requests.
Rose opens the door and leads in a elderly man. His white hair sticking up, his clothing immaculate, shoulders slightly stooped, and fidgety blue eyes behind glasses look over every detail in the office.
"Good afternoon Mr. Knox." You greet him, gesturing to the chair in front of you desk. "Please have a seat, would you like any refreshments?"
"No, thank you." Mr. Knox refused gruffly, but settles into the chair.
You open the file and get your notepad ready as Rose takes her leave. "Now Mr. Knox, I've been over your file repeatedly and I have to admit I'm not sure we've gotten your requests on your new home taken down properly." You admit, since you don't want to tell him outright they seem odd.
He reaches for the file and you hand it over, patiently waiting for him to read it. He clears his throat. "Nope, your lady out there got it right." He announced. "And you may as well call me Charlie." He added as an afterthought.
"Well Charlie, why don't you explain this to me in greater detail. Give me specifics of what you want, budget, and any other specifics you can think of. Then I can let you know how long this project will take and see if we can come to an agreement on it." You say, getting your pen ready.
He sits forward on his chair, eyes gleaming as he gets ready to go into detail. "It's like this you see, everyone said the world was going to end in 2012. And here we are in 2012, but so far nothing's happened. I think something will happen, but it won't destroy the world. And just in case it's going to happen at the end of the year, I plan on being prepared. I've cashed in my stocks, saved up my retirement money, and am ready to have my fallout shelter built. I don't want a regular old one though, I want a fully liveable shelter." He explained.
You're completely stumped and left speechless by his explanation. "Okay, well I need to know exactly how you want this done." Is all you manage to say.
And he explains what he needs. It's quiet the list, but you're up for it. After going over the specifics and the budget, you shake hands with Mr. Knox. "It was a pleasure to meet you Charlie. Give me two weeks and I'll have your shelter built for you." You say as he leaves the office.
After Rose has let him out and locked up, she enters the office to see you sitting in your chair dazed. After hearing it herself, her only response is "I think we should get a bottle of nectar and take it back to my place to drink. Then maybe ol' Charlie will make a bit more sense." And the two of you leave, all the while going over the list of requirements.
Requirements:
Budget: $150,000
Home: House must be built on a 30x30 Lot. You can choose a lot with a home on it already and just add the fallout shelter underneath or choose an empty lot to build both the upper home and fallout shelter on.
-A full home is needed underground
-Home must have 2 bedrooms
-2 bathrooms, one off the master bedroom
-Lots of activities to keep someone busy for long periods of time by themselves.
****EDIT**** For the house above ground you can have a nice house, a shack...basically anything goes. You can choose a lot with a starter house on it and just add the shelter to that so you don't have to build 2 residences or you can build both on a completely empty lot. It's all up to you.
As for the budget. A 30x30 lot is $1800 if I'm not mistaken, so you can go to $151,800. If you use a lot with a house on it, the cost of the house will have to work within the budget. However for this one you can have the extra $1800 and have the fully furnished home come to that $151,800. We'll say that Mr. Knox already owned the land he wanted it built on. I was going to include that and forgot, so my mistake. (That's why it had to be on a 30x30)
Sorry for the mixup. End of edit.
