- Eichler homes, designed by Joseph Eichler, is the main example of Mid Century Modern homes in California, with over 11,000 of the homes built in the 20th century. Many people love them and they have some amazing features, with large expanses of glass and large, open floor plans that are so popular today. They were cheap to build and made efficient use of materials to build a reasonably sized home. Unfortunately, they are really horribly constructed, prone to structural problems, foundation issues, energy inefficient while also being cold and drafty. Leaks in the roofs and walls are commonplace, as is rot at the windows and doors, cracks in the concrete slab floors and broken radiant floor heating systems. The designs didn't allow for any future modifications without a rats nest of pipes and electrical wires on the roof. But there is hope. See how we took a disaster of an Eichler and made the roof look like we build it new.
Was there a follow-up to this video?? Would be nice to see the finished product
Yes, sorry. We have not released that yet. We have been working on retooling our videos to make them more entertaining and educational, so we have paused almost all of our video production while we research how to do so. We will work on getting out our old material as we plan and film our new materials. Sorry for the wait and thank you for reaching out and asking about it.
@@BuildingABetterWay 👍 can’t wait to see more! ✌️
@david100483. Thank you so much!! We are excited to see how you like the new stuff. Please let me know if you have a topic that you want us to cover that we have not covered or to redo something that we didn’t do well before. We are listening.
@@BuildingABetterWay mid century modern housing mainly!
@david100483 Got it. We will do our best. We do some MCM but not a ton. We do have a very cool one starting later this year for a structural engineer we work with, so that will be super cool.
