We have an appointment. With the architect. Next Thursday.

Let's hope he has a plan, an affordable one, and one we like on top of that.

In December 2007, we had a long talk with the guy who was to become our architect for the reconstruction and renovation of our attic. He had a number of good ideas, and seemed confident that we could do things within the limitations of our budget. We were told that we should not expected to hear back from him before February, which seemed fair. I understand that he's a busy man, and such. However, we never heard anything, and had to call him twice ourselves. Today, he confirmed that he had too much work, and he would try to get something prepared by next week.

It has been decided! We are going to rebuild our attic, creating two large rooms and one shower room. The architect we talked to this afternoon figured to it would be best, and cheapest to simply create a completely new roof construction, including the wood, and tiles. This would allow us to place 15 cm thick insulation and yet keep a ventilation space between the insulation and the roof. It would also spare us the cost of having to move several supporting structures that are now obstructing any decent room-forming effort.
