It's been a while since I laid out my tale of architect woe; it's all been pretty stressful and to be honest I didn't even read the responses because I'd put my head in the sand. Things picked up a bit after we made it clear we were happy. He is a little more helpful. But we still never got a budget from him, and had to piece it all together ourselves. Since then we've been trying to get started but there's been a drain issue between us and our neighbour and we've had to get a camera survey to find out exactly where it goes - waiting on news now.
In the meantime we decided to get the floorboards in our bedroom restored because it's the only room that won't be in chaos and we wanted somewhere nice to hole up while work happened. Unfortunately 2/3 of the boards seem ruined by woodworm and the joists have some too. Floorboard guy is going to spray treatment everywhere, double up the joists where there's damage, then relay reclaimed boards.
The whole process is driving us slowly barmy at the moment.
