Meeting with Bob the builder....

.... OK, his name is Rowan but Bob sounds more exciting!

J and I had our first meeting with Rowan and his dad Bill, who will be our architect, to start to plan our new house. It was exciting to discuss what our ideal house would be like, but of course we can't afford that! It was also interesting responding to Bill as he asked us questions about how we live our lives and use spaces within the house to help him to think about the design. We will be meeting again, probably between Christmas and New Year, to discuss his first draft. We get to look at it, talk about with him and Rowan and then if we aren't completely happy Bill goes away and modifies the design and this process continues until we are completely happy and the plans are submitted to council. This is sooooooo exciting.
