CHAPTER 14

“What do you think about the plans for the development?” Ryan asked Gideon in the evening after they returned home. They had take-out Mexican food and were munching on chips and salsa, hot and spicy just as they both liked.

“I like it, of course.” Gideon hesitated. He dipped his chip in the queso dip for a change. “Why didn’t you order hardwood floors at least for the model home to impress the would-be buyers?”

“Like all the other builders, I did that in Las Vegas and buyers were quite unhappy to find out that - just an example – the house base price was $300,000. If they wanted any other improvement that they liked, hardwoods or a bow window in the living room or even a deck in the back of the house, it would cost them extra. In fact, the model house with all the extras reached almost a hundred thousand dollars more than the base price. I wanted here to have a pretty model house which doesn’t cost much more than the base price. As much as I can, I’m going to include all the improvements in the price up front.”

“I see your point. It’s good, although it would look so much nicer with hardwoods.”

“The selling agent will mention that if the buyers contract for a house not yet built they can have all the extras they want. And I was thinking that the second house, the one where we started the foundation, will be bigger. It will have two floors plus basement and will have more improvements including hardwood floors. Also it will cost more. Let me show you the plans.”

“I’ve seen the lot where that house will be built. There is a little ravine in the back and the house will be higher than whatever will be built behind it. So it will always have a nice view.”

Ryan looked on the small table where he always placed his papers when he returned home. The blueprints and the plans for the whole development were not there. Where did he leave them? “Did I leave my blueprints in your truck? I’m going to look for them.”

Gideon looked up from his enchiladas. “No, I don’t think you did.”

The blueprints were not in the truck and Ryan concluded that he left them on the counter in the model home. “Can I borrow your truck to go to the model home? I’ll be back in fifteen minutes.”

Gideon wiped his mouth with a napkin. “Do you want me to come with you?”

Ryan looked at Cleo, sleeping peacefully curled on her special pillow near the fireplace. “No need. Stay here with Cleo and finish your meal. Save me some chips and salsa.” He caught deftly the car keys that Gideon threw him and ran out to the truck parked at the curb.

In ten minutes, he was at the model house. It was dark and the electricity was not connected during the night. Mike was still working on it. Ryan turned on his flashlight and unlocked the door.
