Josh immersed himself in the main library and spent hours on the Internet trolling for information on the Old West and things that could be combined with modern architecture in a practical manner. He filled page after page with preliminary sketches, throwing many of them out, starting over, sometimes staying so late Alex told him to go home to his wife while he still had one. Josh did take three days to fly to Wyoming with Tyler to see the property where the village would be built. They walked the land, took pictures, talked to people. Spent a long time at the county courthouse asking questions about permitting, about politics, about what people liked around there. They’d learned long ago that getting square with all of that up front saved a lot of heartburn later on. Tyler was through with the project after that for the moment and went back to his usual routine of supervising ongoing jobs. His hard work would come when he and Alex sat down to figure out the finite cost estimates and then when the actual construction began.
