The fact that the upstairs loo will be done in phase 2 makes it seem bit odd to be worrying about it now, but if we're totally happy with the plans we can just forget about it. Then when we want to do phase 2 (yeah, right! I'd be happy to do phase one!) we won't have to think about it at all.
Not that thinking is a bad thing, but it feels as though life at the moment is spent repeating the following cycle:
- Prepare questions, changes and new plans (as necessary) for the next visit to M. Boyer
- Visit M. Boyer, discuss his latest news and proposals and our ideas that we haven't emailed to him in the meantime
- Spend time at the house together discussing the outcome of the meeting
- Go home and prepare any changes, plus adding to my "To Do" list anything that has cropped up (like noticing that one of the bars on the kitchen window isn't true) and send anything important to M. Boyer
- Plan our next meeting with M. Boyer, and we're starting again at point 1.
Please don't misunderstand me, I'm much more happy to have the house (very VERY happy!), than I am unhappy about the thinking! I'm not even unhappy about the thought processes, but sometimes it seems a bit never-ending...
If we hadn't done all this once for/with Dominique, I might feel differently, who knows. But this time we both feel that we've been given a chance for a "fresh start" so have almost approached it again from scratch.
That's been good, because we have made one or two material changes, and I think the house will work/flow better because of it. And in year's time this will all be a distant memory!!
Well, as to that last sentence, please keep your fingers crossed for us!!
