“Boss, we’ve got a problem at the Bayshore house.”
Angelo Voltini released a long, low groan over the sushi combo plate
that had just been delivered to his table, positive he wouldn’t enjoy his
favorite spicy salmon roll now. Yes, he’d planned on this being a working
lunch, which was why he’d answered Otis Gates’s call at all, but now his
previously hungry stomach shriveled into an angry ball of anxiety.

“What’s wrong at Bayshore?” Angelo asked, a touch snappier than he’d
intended. Otis’s job was to inform Angelo of issues at the renovation sites
so they could brainstorm solutions together, instead of simply fixing the
problem on his own. Angelo was extremely hands-on in all stages of his
business, but especially when it came to spending un-budgeted money.
Extra-especially when it was a job for a client and not his own home-flip
project.
The remodel on Bayshore Drive was his own flip, but still. Problems
gave him stomach aches, and his doctor was already on him about a
possible ulcer.
“Well, when we ripped up the ceramic tiles around the living room
fireplace,” Otis said, “we found old oak hardwood under there.”
“How is finding original hardwood floors a problem?” The house had
been built in 1943 and they’d already found hardwood under the ugly green
kitchen linoleum and the downstairs study. Finding more shouldn’t surprise
anyone.
“It’s not the hardwood, boss, it’s the sub-floor. There’s lotsa rot under
there, and we may have to replace the whole living room sub-floor.”
Angelo resisted the urge to stab a chopstick right through his eye.
Replacing the sub-floor meant removing all the original hardwood to get at
it, ripping out the rot problem, and then laying new flooring. It was not an
expense Angelo had anticipated, but the living room was the focal point of
this renovation. And Angelo had too much pride in his work to ever ignore
such a serious structural problem, or to half-ass the repair. “Do you think
it’s the entire living room or just around the fireplace?”
“Hard to know until we get in there and start removing the hardwood.
Hopefully, it’s contained and not the whole floor.”
“How much extra if it’s the whole thing?”
Otis’s estimate made his already angry stomach tighten up a little more.
Angelo was already overextended on two other projects, and he had a
fourth, completed house that had been sitting on the market for a month
without a bite. Even the open house had been sparsely attended, which was
unusual when his name was on the lawn sign. He really needed to get some
client renovation bites, but the market for that in the Reynolds area had
dried up in the last year or so, and Angelo had no idea why.
Please, just around the fireplace. Please, just around the fireplace.
Please.
“Do the repairs,” Angelo said through gritted teeth.
“You got it. Later, boss.”
“Yeah.” He chewed on two antacids before digging into his sushi. He
wasn’t hungry anymore but he wasn’t about to waste it. Not when he was
