Build-n-Share Challenge #16
#16 The Siblings
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
You sit with a mug of hot lemon and honey feeling sorry for yourself, as the cold you had been trying to avoid has made a fully fledged appearance. The intercom buzzes and you answer, wiping your nose.
"Yes Rose?"
"Your 4:30 appointment is here, shall I show him in?:
"Please."
The door opens and in walks a young man, with short strawberry blond hair and an athletic appearance, you wouldn't be surprised if he played as a quarterback. However, you wouldn't put him at an age where he would be interested in building a home, he can't be more than 17. In his arms he carries a tiny baby, from the pink babygrow, you surmise that is a little girl.
"Henry, it's such a pleasure to meet you."
"You too, and thank you for taking the time to meet with me."
He seems exceptionally polite and his eyes look a little sad, which you can understand given the situation."I understand that you need a new home?"
"Yes, my parents were recently killed in a car accident, leaving me to look after my baby sister Evangeline. They left us enough money that I wanted to relocate and start again."
"I can see why you would want to do that."
"Willow Creek seems like a nice place, and the school is supposed to be fantastic, I want to try and give little Evie the best possible start in life."
You find his demeanour amazing considering what he has been through and what life must have in store for him and his little sister.
"So, what did you have in mind?"
"Well,this may seem a little weird, but I love little cottages, I like the cosiness that they seem to instill. And I want Evie to feel safe in her new home. My parents life insurance policy has enough that I can put away some money so that Evie can go to college if she wants, and that will leave me with enough to live on, for a while. I was thinking about starting my own business sometime in the future, so that I can work from home, to help cut down on childcare costs."
Again, you wonder how someone so young can be so unselfish and pragmatic. Thinking of how you would have handled the situation had it been you at 17, it also gives you some perspective of how awful life could truly be.
Evangeline starts to grumble, so Henry holds up a bunch of keys and this seems to lift her spirits as she starts waving her hands in their general direction.
"So, we are looking at cottage style build, with 2 bedrooms I'm guessing?"
"That would be great, it would also be useful if I could have another room to myself, sort of like an office stroke workshop, I am thinking ahead though, so if it's not possible on the budget, maybe just an alcove or something in my room, I don't want Evie to be able to get her hands on my tools as she gets more mobile."
"What do you make?" You enquire.
"I love wood work, I sculpt and make some basic items of furniture. It helps me to relax."
"Sounds incredible, I'd love to see some of your work someday?"
With a genuine smile Henry replies. "I'd like that too! So, as for a budget, do you think you could manage this build with $35,000."
"I think that's definitely doable. Give me a couple of weeks and I'll show you around the finished property."
"thank you so much, I was dreading this meeting, it seems so final, to have a new home. But we can't live in the past."
"No, and I must say I am sorry for your loss, but I think little Evangeline has been left in safe hands."
As he leaves the office, you notice little Evangeline is looking in your direction, you hold her gaze for a moment and you could swear it was almost like she was trying to say thank you.
Use Daisy Hovel in Willow Creek:
Cottage style build
2 bedroom
1.5 bathroom
Workshop space out-side of the main living area
Room Challenge:
Create Henry’s bedroom, with an area for his workshop included. Your budget for this is $7,500.
Sim Challenge:
Create Henry and Evangeline Taylor. Henry is cheerful and Evangeline is self assured, the rest is up to you.
