A Visit with the Architect

     During our recent trip to Montana for Log School, we decided to fly out a day early and drive to Idaho and visit with Josh from Design Intelligence.  First let me say that the drive from Bozeman, MT to Rexburg, ID was absolutely gorgeous. Then with that being said, Josh emailed our first draft of the design to us so that we could review them on the flight out.  When we got there he had a set that we 'marked-up' and made the changes on, and he had also printed out a set for us to take with us for further review during our trip.  We were thoroughly impressed with how few changes we had to make to this first draft.  This told us that Josh had truly listened to what we wanted and took our ideas and put them on paper.  We showed these plans to our log home instructor and he said that it will be a challenging project, but we can do it.  We are now waiting on the revised prints, and we are confident that there will be few if any revisions from here.  We were a little apprehensive about choosing an architect from so far away, but there just aren't any in our area; but all of our concerns were put to rest when we saw the work that Josh had done.  While we feel that our design is in good hands and we now know that Josh is on the same page as we are; we are glad that we took the opportunity to schedule the meeting and work with him face-to-face.
