Does Our House Measure Up?

The architect came by last night to measure the house in detail to begin drawing up plans. I think we both expected to help him out, but he said he was used to doing it and didn't need our help. I was pretty impressed, he did get everything measured out. He pointed out a few interesting things that were "unique" about our house - like how front doors are supposed to be 36 inches and ours is 32. That one is going to be interesting to fix if we can't find a Craftsman door in 32".

At the end of the measuring he said he would start the plans and that he usually liked to meet once a week during the process to stay on track. Next week might just be the house as it currently is, but it's still exciting that we will soon have our house on paper. It sounds like the general plan is that he will take our ideas we have given him and make several designs, then we can decide which ones we like and reiterate on them. He said he would even throw in a few off-the-wall ideas so that we don't miss any ideas we might like.
