Build’n’Share Challenge #33
Coy Christmas Comes Home
You glance down at your appointment calendar, shaking your head in puzzlement. "Rose, can you come in here a sec?" you call through the open door.
Rose pokes her head into your office, looking at you quizzically.
"What's this appointment notation for later today? Coy Christmas? Is that some kind of statement about how you're feeling about the holiday season this year?"
Rose laughs. Actually, snorts, is more like it. Kind of a combination of a snort and a giggle. A sniggle, perhaps? "Nope," she says, finally gaining control of her giggles. That's your new client. First name, Coy. Last name, Christmas.
"Oh." you say in a serious tone, then shake your head. "Bless his heart."
"No doubt," Rose sniggles some more. "I'll never know how he made it through junior high alive with a name like that."
"You just stop it," you say sternly. As sternly as you can muster anyway, trying to hide your own grin. "Please send him in as soon as he gets here."
"Aye, aye, Boss," she says with a jaunty salute and backs out of the office still smiling.
Forty-five minutes later, she ushers in Mr. Christmas himself. You aren't sure what you were expecting. Someone older for sure. And... jollier. Coy Christmas is young. Not to mention, the very definition of tall, dark and handsome. Composing yourself, you shake hands in introduction and motion for him to take a seat. "I understand you're returning to the area after being away for awhile?" you prompt after the usual small talk.
"Yes, ma'am," Coy affirms in his decidedly sexy drawl. "MeMa, that's what we call my grandma, she's finally had to go into a retirement home over in Newcrest. I'm moving into her old place to fix it up to sell. I might even end up living there myself if turns out the way I hope it does. The old place has good bones. It just needs to be brought into this decade," he says with a chuckle.
"Well, that doesn't exactly sound like our usual kind of project," you say hesitantly. "I'm not sure exactly how we can help you."
"I was a contractor back in Sunset Valley," Coy explains. But I'm not licensed in this area yet. I'd like to hire you as project manager. I need you to hook me up with the best tradespeople in the area to get this job done right. I can save money on the project by doing some of the work myself, and I'll pay you a commission on the final sale."
You nod, starting to see where he is going with this arrangement. "That actually works out nicely for this timeframe," you agree. "With the holidays coming up, a nice, small project may be just perfect for us."
...

You have the starting value of the home +30,000 to complete the remodel.
You can keep/delete/replace any furnishings and fixtures.
Money from deleted items CAN be used for the new decor.
You can add to the existing footprint of the house or rearrange the interior walls as you'd like.
Roof, windows, doors, etc. can be moved, changed and/or replaced as you'd like.
The finished home should be 2 bedroom, 2 bath.

ENTRY DETAILS: I renovated a Tudor Style starter house in Windenberg, added landscaping, I remodeled the roofs and added a porch. Inside it´s furnished and decorated in a modern style, but not too modern. I used red and brown colors for the living, the dining, kitchen and entrance, that are in an open layout, because red looks more Christmasy to me. For the bedrooms and baths I used teal and brown, that are more relaxing colors. I tryied to use the same colors in all the interiors, but I really didn´t like. I put curtains this time !!
