This is not a giant project. I have a client, Mrs Paddock, who is planning a major expansion of their home, as in a two story addition and a total change of use of the first floor plan. This is not a career maker, but it would involve design and structure, and I thought you with your fresh ideas may find it interesting.

She has gone to local architect and interior designers, and when she asked for help, they said "What do you want to do with this space? She said "I told you what I want, I thought you would tell me how to do it." She said she is not going to pay someone 6-8% of her project just to regurgitate her ideas.

What she is looking for is an ergonomic design that would maximize the use of her first floor, the second floor is just going to be a bedroom expansion and an enormous bathroom. i have a contractor going to the site to approximate floor areas and check the structure.

Avery, this may be a chapter in you portfolio, or nothing at all, but I told you I was impressed with your work and would try to help. I wasn't kidding.
