Excited but Frightened!

At last the architect came today.

The girl we initially contacted arrived first with her partner to start measuring up which took over 3 hours. The architect followed, looked around and then started to discuss the project with us. The first bomb shell was to tell us that the entire floor on the middle level that we live on is unsafe and should be replaced with concrete. He then proceeded to discuss the rest of our plans and came up with some fabulous ideas - only one very big problem what on earth is it going to cost. Well he left and we recovered and in our usual "cela ne fait rien" French attitude decided to go for it. So if you visit and find we have only half a kitchen dont be surprised (John says you may only find the roof and four walls).
