Build’n’Share Challenge #65 - The Hawthorne Project Part 3
The Hawthorne Project Part 3
Well, this is surely easier than the last time I received an email from The Hawthorne Project. You cast your mind back to when Rose had left and you hadn’t met the man who had recommended his sister as the next recipient of the foundation and gone on to take over from the irreplaceable Rose.
Hello there my dear,
I hope that this email finds you well. I just wanted to thank you again for your help with the Disaster Plan that we managed to action for those poor unfortunate souls in Oasis Springs. I have enclosed the application form for the next recipient. The poor little thing is really deserving of our help.
With kindest regards, Ms Hawthorne
“Well, I wasn’t expecting a personal email from the lady herself.” You think to yourself as you open up the attached file. You find yourself looking at a photo of a young man, with his belongings on a street corner, it looks like a tourist snap that was taken at just the right spot to capture the moment completely. He looks so bereft and dejected, that you wonder how on earth he had the wherewithal to contact The Hawthorne Project.
You continue to scan the documents.
“Hi, I am writing to you, because I met this young man last week. He is a former soldier who has recently been made homeless. I noticed the regiment badge on his backpack as we were waiting for a bus and being a military man myself we got chatting. It turns out he suffers with PTSD, his wife left him and took the house and his children, he has a son and a daughter, who are both in elementary school. He has been living rough for a couple of months, he likes to ride the buses and people watch. I believe that he has been dealt a tough hand in life and that it’s up to those more fortunate to help out if and when they can. I saw the leaflet for The Hawthorne Project flier and immediately thought of Dave, so that’s why I am applying. Thank you for taking the time to read my application.”
You find that there is a lump in your throat as you finish reading the form. Dave is certainly in need of some help. You head out into the lobby to grab a tissue from Karl’s desk.
“I’m guessing you read the latest Hawthorne application?” You ask him.
“I did, and all I can say is I think Ms Hawthorne should be up for a Sainthood.” is his reply.
“I think you might be right.” But you can’t help thinking of all the other unfortunates who must be in similar or even worse conditions than Dave Potter and you have to believe that the world is going to change for the better one day.
Heading back into your office, you sit at your desk and notice a post script to Ms Hawthorne’s email.
As Mr Potter has children, I would think that it would be relevant to allow him the funding as per a Sim with children living with them full time. My hope is that Mr Potter be able to rehabilitated back into a functioning member of society with access to his two children. Therefore, the budget for this project should be $40,000 as per the guidelines for a home for three Sims.
The Brief:
A 3 bedroom home, you have free reign on how the house is built, landscaped, laid out etc.
Must include: a computer, a vegetable garden, a chess table, an easel, at least one musical instrument, at least one piece of fitness equipment (must be an item that improves the fitness skill) and a bookcase.
The budget must not exceed 40,000.
Sim Challenge:
Create Dave Potter, he is an active but gloomy. His final trait and aspiration are of course up to you. You should show Dave interacting with his new environment.
Room Challenge:
Create a gym for Dave, your budget for this room is 7,500. It should be no larger than 20 squares in total, this does not need to be in a square.

ENTRY DETAILS:
This house Windenburg home is modern and has all the required eliments. Situated on an Island and near the water's edge should be a good and calming neighborhood for this PTSD sufferer. After taking care of the challenge demands I started decorating in earnest with my calculator. I managed some nice decor with carefully chosen furnishings, good guality appliances (if not best). The home has a "Homey, Sunny Aspect" with "Gnomes"; I wanted to give Dave Potter the best possible chance of a good life and considered his children in the choices so he can do things with them. I came in $56 over budget forcing me to throw out things, it is the clutter that cost the most! I thought the flowers were a nice finish. The house has a simple and easy layout, with an eat-in kitchen which is the only dining area. All in, I think it a simply attractive home, with a fairly open floor plan. The house was designed for active use so I have now uploaded to the gallery and will let Dave into his new home to test his reactions.
SIM: Dave Potter
SIM ENTRY SLIDESHOW: https://goo.gl/photos/QogQtWUmv1EKeoTx5
ENTRY DETAILS: Dave Potter is creative, in spite of his general gloominess. His aspiration is to create a comfortable and pleasant home for the children if and when they can come to his home. Dave loves to read and play chess. He is trying to get the hang of basket ball, he keeps returning to the hoop again and again. Dave continues to keep fit with regular exercise and jogging. He is having some problems creating good relationships but he is learning. I have great hope for Dave in overcoming his problems with PTSD because he does not seem to be a quitter. Dave is muscular from his time in military but since leaving the armed forces has developed a very slight paunch. He remains a fit and healthy, generally.

ENTRY DETAILS: Since Dave suffers from PTSD, I wanted his house to be a safe haven where he could feel both at home and inspired. Earthly colors on the outside combined with stone will help to feel him grounded. A modern structure with clean lines and an open concept will make the house look bigger than it actually is. The blue and beige color scheme is supposed to be calming and relaxing.
The kids share a bathroom, which works as a guest bath as well. Daves small mastersuite is his retreat.
After all I tried to safe some money and give him a small pool - a cool refreshment in the hot desert sun and a great place to hang out with his kids! For serving his country he really deserves that little piece of luxury.

ENTRY DETAILS: Dave loves his new home and he already started gardening, painting and on the last Picture you can see him in the front yard, waiting for his ex-wife to drop of his beloved children, because all he ever wanted, was a huge and happy family and who knows? Maybe there is a happy ending after all for him... with a woman who loves him for whom he really is.

ENTRY DETAILS: I decided a craftsman style home would suit David. Craftsman homes have strong design elements and are no nonsense--perfect for a strong and sensible man who is ready to take control of his life. The open floor plan makes it easy to keep an eye on the kids. Decorated in calming blue with bright pops of orange--playing on the tone of the natural wood furniture--Dave sees a bit of the uplifting shade in each of the areas of the main living space. The house flows easily from inside to outside with the large French doors and the bigger backyard with shade trees is a great play space. David liked the patio so much he decided to put his easel out back for some en plein air painting. He might even use his garden for painting inspiration when the plants are ready for harvest. David's room is masculine without being dark and he really appreciates there is space for his punching bag--working out helps him with stress--and the private bath with shower. The rooms for his daughter and son really capture their personalities. The daughter, Darla, is very girly and loves animals! Ricky's room is all about the sky--he wants to be an astronaut.

ENTRY DETAILS: Dave's clothes are a little raggedy and he feels he is ready for a haircut--he got used to keeping it short in the military but he hasn't been able to afford one in a while. Even though he's prone to bouts of sadness, Dave is hopeful his children will benefit from his new beginning and be even more successful. And now that he is going to be back on his feet soon, he's optimistic he'll find a new partner who will become good friends with his kids (he's a romantic--it's the trait that won over his ex-wife, Justine, even though she's not naturally one for marriage). Dave and Justine get along well. She's really impressed with his new place and even helps out with the kids sometimes while David gets used to taking care of the family again.

The Hawthorne Project Part 3
Well, this is surely easier than the last time I received an email from The Hawthorne Project. You cast your mind back to when Rose had left and you hadn’t met the man who had recommended his sister as the next recipient of the foundation and gone on to take over from the irreplaceable Rose.
Hello there my dear,
I hope that this email finds you well. I just wanted to thank you again for your help with the Disaster Plan that we managed to action for those poor unfortunate souls in Oasis Springs. I have enclosed the application form for the next recipient. The poor little thing is really deserving of our help.
With kindest regards, Ms Hawthorne
“Well, I wasn’t expecting a personal email from the lady herself.” You think to yourself as you open up the attached file. You find yourself looking at a photo of a young man, with his belongings on a street corner, it looks like a tourist snap that was taken at just the right spot to capture the moment completely. He looks so bereft and dejected, that you wonder how on earth he had the wherewithal to contact The Hawthorne Project.
You continue to scan the documents.
“Hi, I am writing to you, because I met this young man last week. He is a former soldier who has recently been made homeless.

ENTRY DETAILS: I decided that Dave needed somewhere quiet to get away from the stresses of city living. I chose to build a Tudor house to fit in with the rest of the houses in the neighbourhood. The house has a lovely garden with a fishing pond. Inside, it has enough room for his two children with a large kitchen, den and large bedrooms upstairs.

ENTRY DETAILS: Solidarity is a new beginning for the former soldier. I chose khaki and brown for the house exteriors, being army colours, with pops of bright yellow to resemble 'sunny days'. There is a rear yard for dining, gardening and art. Open concept interior design to give a spacious feel which includes kitchen (the bookshelf is just off this area), dining (there is a computer nook here), bar, chess and living areas. There is fitness equipment in the master bedroom. The children's rooms are on the first floor, one for the girl and one for the boy. There is also a shower room on this floor.
