Headline: Client Confirms Concept Plans

Today is a big day - we confirmed the interior and exterior concept plans. This means that we are now moving onto the 'working drawing' stage of the design process. We have agreed to the layout of the place, etc and now get to work out the details. Feel free to email me if you want a copy of the plans.

Also, just in case the suspense is killing you - we went with board and batton siding with shingles up top near the dormers and a stone skirt. We are working out material and colour choices next!

Things are too crazy and busy to give you too many details right now. I am sure that I could write a lot about why we made certain choices, as well as the green side of things. I will try and post more in the spirit of sharing information but this is going to have to do for now. I will say that we punched a hole in the dining room wall and it was confirmed that the exterior wall has zero insulation. Not surprising considering the results of our energy audit (36 out of 100). We are currently working with Amsted to come up with a plan to make our home as energy efficient as possible.

I am posting this comment that we got from a recent email. A friend saw the kitchen layout and made the suggestion that we include beer taps instead of a typical wine rack. Not bad. Keep the ideas coming.
