I'm new to the forum and to the Heights. We're buying a house in Sunset Heights and are planning to remodel. The house was a duplex which we are planning to return it to a single family house. We will have to reconfigure the room designs somewhat, and are planning to do most of the work ourselves. Would it be better to hire an architect to draw some plans? What about permits? We will hire licensed electricians and plumbers for that type of work and I know that they can handle the permits for those areas. We want to keep this beautiful little bungalow alive, just give her a little plastic surgery. This is new for us, and I feel a little like I'm about to step off of a cliff. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
