Build-n-Share Challenge # 3 - Frank and Sammy Padre
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
Sitting back in your chair, you take a sip of coffee. You release a contented sigh and congratulate yourself. You finished the build for Cody Klepto. It wasn’t easy, especially with that budget, but you did it.
Taking another sip of coffee, you open the daily paper.
. . .
Family homeless after Tuesday disaster
A man and his son are without a home this morning after a meteor struck their Sunset Valley home Tuesday.
“After picking up my son from school, I returned home only to find a massive, smoking meteor had crushed it,” Frank Padre, owner of the home, said Tuesday.
“Now we are working with insurance to build another,” he said. “They said the damage was too great and it cannot be repaired.”
Frank and his son Sammy have resided in Sunset Valley for the past five years.
Sammy, who has a love for all things space-related, says he still has not lost his interest in the night sky.
“The meteor was so cool! I’ve never seen anything like it,” he said.
. . .
You put down your coffee, give the rest of the story a quick skim, and flip to the editorial section. Finding what you need, you pick up the phone.
Three hours later, Frank walks into your office.
“We can’t thank you enough for your call,” he says as he enters.
“When I saw the story, I just had to do something,” you tell him. “What do you hope to have in your new home?”
“Well,” he begins, “I’d really like to have a nice bedroom for my son.”
“He seems like a great kid. Such a love of space! I know it’s probably a touchy subject, but would you like me to play off of that for his room?”
He laughs, “Yes, that would be fine. It can always serve as a reminder of his close encounter. I’d also really like to give him a play area outside. He loves the outdoors.”
“What about you, anything you want?” you ask.
“I love to cook, so a nice kitchen would be wonderful. And we love to grill. If we could have an entry to a covered patio from the kitchen, that would be very handy.”
“OK. So a space-themed room for Sammy, an outdoor play area, and a nice kitchen with an attached, covered outdoor patio area. Anything else?”
“I’d really like mostly golds and oranges for the walls. Sammy loves blue. I think some turquoise in a few places would be nice. In his room, you can do whatever you think fits the space theme.”
“And your budget is $35,000? I think we should be able to handle that!” you tell him. “ We’ll see you next Wednesday! And tell Sammy I say, ‘hello.’”
Frank smiles as he leaves.
You pick up the phone to call your father.
***This challenge is written in honor of my father and stepfather, and all the wonderful dads out there. Have a terrific Father’s Day!***
