Keep your options open in case you don\u2019t like what you see. You\u2019ll be happy to know that there is an empty lot right across the street. We can walk there. The contractor is there waiting for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The three walk over to the empty lot where the contractor is waiting for them. The contractor introduces himself and goes over the details of the empty lot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe lot is called Potters Splay. The size is 30&#215;20 and would cost 2,500 simoleons to purchase.\u201d He points to a small lake. \u201cThere is a fishing spot over there. And the park is right behind us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Soon after, the four are walking over to the second empty lot in Willow Creek. This one was called Hallow Slough. It was the same size as Potters Splay, but was a little pricier of \u00a75,500. This one was surrounded by one occupied home and two unoccupied. The contractor explains more about the lot as well.<\/p>\n<p>The last one the real estate agent shows them was called Bargain Blend. It was the same size of the other two and the cost was the cheapest at \u00a72,000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShall we go to Oasis Springs and see their available lots?\u201d the agent asks Bob and Eliza.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think I\u2019d like to discuss the three you showed us here in Willow Creek first with my husband.\u201d Eliza answered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"706\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/legacysims.net\/?attachment_id=706\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/legacysims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/20.png?fit=800%2C419&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,419\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/legacysims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/20.png?fit=800%2C419&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-706\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/legacysims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/20.png?resize=800%2C419&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/legacysims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/20.png?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/legacysims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/20.png?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/legacysims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/20.png?resize=768%2C402&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/legacysims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/20.png?resize=594%2C311&amp;ssl=1 594w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The agent walks the four back to Bob and Eliza\u2019s home. Eliza invites the other two in and everyone sits down at the dining room table. Of course, Bob becomes uncomfortable. He lets Eliza do all of the talking. He nods his head and agrees with whatever Eliza says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI still need to talk this over with my husband a bit more.\u201d Eliza tells the agent. \u201cCan I get back to you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSure. You have my card. My cell is on there. Give me a call anytime. Leave me a message if you get my voicemail and I\u2019ll get back to you when time permits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you very much.\u201d Eliza says.<\/p>\n<p>Eliza escorts the agent and contractor to the door. She shakes their hands before they leave. Bob took this time to head upstairs and change into his grunge clothes. Eliza came upstairs to his room.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo what do you think?\u201d she asks Bob.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhich lot did you like?\u201d Bob asked. \u201cI like the one across the street. We can walk home together after sending our employees off for the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eliza was happy Bob was getting into the idea more. She was concerned about the cost, though. She had rushed into wanting to do something with Bob, but didn\u2019t consider the extended cost.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you think we have enough simoleons to cover the cost of the lot so no one else will snatch it?\u201d Eliza asked. \u201cThen we can figure out construction cost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast time we did bills, we had over twenty-one thousand simoleons, so I see no problem with purchasing the lot.\u201d Bob replied.<\/p>\n<p>It was well into the afternoon. Bob made his way into the living room to watch t.v. and Eliza decided to go out. She was hoping to run into a Goth or Landgraab again to keep tabs on them. It would take some time for her to catch up on having the Pancakes house be as expensive as the other two, but she wanted to get there and exceed it. With running a restaurant, this will help bring in more income as well as hopefully bring her closer to Bob.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"707\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/legacysims.net\/?attachment_id=707\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/legacysims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/21.png?fit=800%2C419&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,419\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"21\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/legacysims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/21.png?fit=800%2C419&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-707\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/legacysims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/21.png?resize=800%2C419&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/legacysims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/21.png?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/legacysims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/21.png?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/legacysims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/21.png?resize=768%2C402&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/legacysims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/21.png?resize=594%2C311&amp;ssl=1 594w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Bob had to be to work at six o\u2019clock, so he made dinner around four-thirty.
