The first session
We talked to an architect Saturday. It was a good initial session. He likes doing creative projects and thought our ideas would be fun. :)
He likes to detail the job into its specific components so we can bit to the individual contractors directly. Effectively making us the general contractor. I am ok with that. He also has a very hands on approach to the process all through construction. Also good.
He was gently trying to steer us away from a basement. His thought is we may not need the square footage, given it will be more expensive. We need to talk more about it. I need to enphasize to him that I want a basement, not that I am just looking for more space.
Lots to talk about. I need to start getting some financing lined up. Find out just how much we can afford. He will start getting a idea on basement costs.
But so far a very productive session.
Poe had the idea of getting a URL and blogging the whole process. I think that would be very cool.
