Haha. Oh boy.

Interesting. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll look into it.

Ok. Thx.

Ok. Thx

Windsor One. Kuiken Lumber, or any old school lumber yard.

Ok.

Agreed. Thx.

So true. Thx for sharing.

I love it!

Agreed. Thx.

THx

Awesome. Thx.

I agree. Thx,

Something like that could potentially be 'fixed' just by covering it, though. My living room floor has a spot with some nasty scratches, but it's covered up by the rug, so who cares?

Me too. THx.

Austinblackvideo on KZbin. But he hasn't posted in a while.

These homes were not meant to be stately or a status symbol, just a charming place to raise a middle class family.

Nobody pays any attention to you when you drive plain cars and live in a plain house.

Thx.

@@Duke_of_Prunes That is a good thing. Having those two things where I live is inviting burglars and armed robbers. I know several people that have been followed home and been robbed in a home invasion. People are paying attention, just not the ones you want to impress. I drive older cars and dress like a carpenter, nobody follows me home unless I did something to them in traffic on the drive home. I have my money in less visible assets, not conspicuous consumption items like cars, watches. jewelry and a McMansion. My home is very private and can't be seen from the street.. out of sight, out of mind.

The wood in this house looked like T&G boards instead of the cheap veneer ply or even cheaper printed paperboard. Although it isn't my favorite look, I would leave the stained wood walls alone and use other decorations to break up the cabin look. The cheap plywood paneling is something I'd have no hesitation to remove and replace with drywall.

I think the house could use some tasteful updating like paint. The paneled room could be amazing, currently its a miss. In my opinion.

These old tract homes had more design thought put in them than the new soulless builds.

I agree with you, they just don't make them like they used to.

Stay tuned!

Window glass size should make up 70-80% of the dormer face.

Thanks, let's build beautiful long lasting buildings.

I was wondering why he was calling it a colonial revival. This style of home is prolific where I live in Los Angeles. We have some colonial homes too but the architecture is dramatically different.

No way in hell that' a ranch. it's a Minimal Traditional with some colonial revival details.

@@marvinhaines9297 Much too large, complex, detailed , ornamented, and expensive to be Minimal Traditional. Very little about the house is "minimal" The materials and workmanship are a step above what is found in a low cost house.

@@Hemond1 Minimal Trad, contrary to what many people think, is actually an architectural style from the 40s. Not a description- a style. Look it up.

Thanks for noticing. I don't agree that this is ranch style home, although I do admit that the low pitched roof is hinting towards ranch. This is a late 40's house caught between the ranch and colonial revival eras. Stylistically it is learning traditional, divided light windows, columns, shutters, mantle on the interior for sure. etc. . I wanted to show this house so that people will appreciate better details.

This more a version of the cape- 1 story type. 1940's is just before house styles lose their charm. It isn't a classic CR, more of a want-to-be CR. THx.

It breaks my heart seeing people destroy historic homes and make them modern and boring.

I appreciate it, cheers.

​@@davidparker9676 That's why I like architects like Gil Schaffer III. Building new doesn't mean having to build modern.

I love seeing the craftsmanship and details in older homes. I hope that we return to appreciating good design and quality materials/craftsmanship again. The modern homes are such plain and uninspired boxes with no cohesive design theme or style.

Yep! Thx.

I'm so tired of the "farmhouse" style light fixtures. They are hideous and cast unattractive shadows all over the room with harsh undiffused light.

Haha. Noted.

So glad you liked it. Cheers

Some hedging would help fix that.

Light pollution IS obnoxious.

You buy the neighborhood, not the house. You can't change your neighbors but you can change the house.

Haha, Noted.

Do it! Please. We need better cabinets.

Agreed! THx.

I appreciate your design eye and suggestions!

Noted. Thx.

Yep. THx.

So glad! Thx

Glad it was helpful!

Welcome! Cheers

Modular for sure. We don't need bigger bricks, that is a builder trick to have the look for a cheaper cost. Thx

Interesting! I didn't know that. Thx.

Thank you! Cheers!

Haha, Thanks!

Nice. Thx.

Appreciate it. Thx

Thx!

Haha, thx.

I think so too!

Clean it and oil it.

So nice to hear. Thx.

Like the colonial transom lights and bullnose front much better. Big improvement.

Yep. Thx.
