RP: Country Inn
Date: 10 January 2005
Characters: Wayne, Charlie, Oliver
Location: River Inn
Status: Private
Summary: Plans for the new inn are made.
Completion: Incomplete
The property was about a ten minute walk from the center of Stoatshead Hill. Wayne had happened upon it by chance, actually, because he'd been focused on possible locations nearer to town. If he hadn't just taken a walk one morning and headed west down River Road until it left the main town area, he might never have stumbled upon the huge property that would be perfect for a small country inn.
The house was ridiculously big for what must have just been one family. There was a barn that could be converted into four comfortable rooms for rent, and he had visions of cottages spread over the empty land west of the house. The landscape and back gardens were perfect for guests to waste a lazy afternoon by the river. He hadn't toured the complete house yet, but he had wandered through part of it to make sure the damage was such that could be renovated.
Today, he was going to give Oliver and Charlie a tour, get their input, and make notes for the actual renovations to start. It had been weeks of planning and working out details with Andrew before presenting the idea to their father for approval. Since it would be a wizarding inn, he had decided to focus on comfort and privacy, more than lavish quantity of rooms. They didn't need to offer twenty plus rooms, as it was unlikely that a dozen would ever be rented until things became more stable. This would be the most cost effective plan with a potential for eventual profit. Fortunately, their father had agreed, so it was now time to begin the actual work.
He looked at Oliver and Charlie and grinned, bouncing slightly on the back of his heels as he led them off the main road and down the dirt drive until they reached the house. "So, here it is," he said, waiting for their first impressions.
