Movies love to show architects creating away at a drafting table or sitting picturesquely at a cafe, sketchbook in hand. 

It’s romantic, this vision of a endlessly creative mind conjuring beautiful buildings from some eternal, internal well.  But *SPOILER ALERT* no one uses a drafting table anymore (except throwbacks and nostalgia lovers). In fact, I do all my sketching on a tablet. But there is another thing we do all the time...

We spend A LOT of time answering questions. 

At this week's open office hours I answered questions about: 

• How to tune your remodel to a house built and expanded over eras. 
• Ways to upgrade a fireplace facade. 
• When to call an engineer.
