Build-n-Share Challenge #3
The Olsen's
It was with much stifled, exasperated laughter that you accepted the profuse thanks of Douglas Curtis. The ever faithful (and merciless) Rose spent most of that interview pretending to be completely oblivious towards the hints and suggestions for dinners or drinks. Finally, after managing to cut the schmoozing and posturing short, you shut the door behind him and lean back against it. You lock eyes with Rose and both of you let out a deep, relieved sigh.
“Close up early?” You ask.
“Drinks?” Rose responds with. You smile and turn to lock the door.
Barely have your fingers touched the deadbolt lock than you see a man and a woman coming up the walk. “Drinks are on pause Rose. Clients.” You grin, hearing Rose’s muffled profanity, then open the door graciously for the couple.
They look startled, then smile back. The woman strikes you as a very warm and friendly person, with sunny blonde hair and bright blue eyes. “Oh! How nice!” She says in a playful voice. Her husband smiles, “Great welcome.” Already balding and possessed of a close cropped bead, his eyes are just a blue and project a calm steadiness that make you feel like you’re reunited with an old friend.
“Thank you. Please come in.” You shut the door, then introduce yourself.
“I'm Don and this is my wife Judy. We’re here for a house.” He says.
“Great! Lets go back to my office.” You say, leading them back.
After many compliments on the interior decorating and the layout, Judy settles into her chair, folds her hands in her lap and then gets right to the heart of it. “Don and I are wanting a custom house. We've decided that since we’re going to spend the rest of our lives here in Willow Creek, we want something exactly right.”
“Define ‘exactly right’.” You request, taking notes.
“Well, we both like colonial architecture, so that's what we would like for the exterior and the landscaping. But inside, we love modern interiors. My favorite color is blue and his is brown.”
“Minimum of 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and one half bath…but if you can put more bedrooms in that would be great.” Don interjects. “With a soaking tub. My hobby is woodworking so if you could put together a nice workshop for me that would lovely.”
“None of that sounds like an issue.” You say confidently.
Judy smiles, “Well, there is one more thing….”
“Okay.”
“Our parents are going to be coming out in a month. His mother and father and my mother. All three are retired, and they don't always get along. So rather than build on a wing or two for them, we've decided on separate houses. But we’ll get into that later. Lets just say we need a nice large lot and our new house to be positioned with that in mind.”
“Can do. What's my budget for this build?”
“Well, we were thinking about $100,000.” suggests Don. “That enough?”
“Sure. Will 2 weeks be soon enough?”
“Sure.” He stands up, holds out his hand. “Cant wait to see what you make.”
“Me too!” Judy chimes in, also shaking your hand before being escorted out by Rose.
You jot down a few more notes before Rose comes back, chirping “Doors locked!”
“Then lets go!” You say, grabbing your jacket.
