As I have posted before we live in an Eichler (Mid Century Modern from the 50's). Eichlers were cheap tract homes and in an era of redlining Joseph Eichler would sell homes to anybody and did not discriminate.

They are fun and quirky and you either love them or hate them.

In 1956 (Ours is 1958) he built "the home of the future" the X-100. The name came fromt he X-Series of NASA planes which were cutting edge. The X-100 used Steel frame construction instead of wood, No interior load-bearing walls thus a totally open layout. Floor to ceiling windows (mine has these) , atriums INSIDE THE House. This APEX home which is listed int he National Register is now up for sale for a comically low 4.5 million USD. (I know but its the SF Bay Area) It should sell in the 6+ range IMHO and the priced it low to get a bid war going #Eichler #midcenturymodern #design

Easy Livin' - West Coast Jazz of the '50s.
Relaxed west coast jazz from '52-59, mainly recorded the the Bay Area or LA. My 1959 Eichler home will be on an upcoming neighborhood tour, and I wanted some fitting background music for the tour - music a young couple might play moving into their new Eichler home in the Bay Area after getting the keys. #jazz #eichler #california #1950s

The power of Foam. We live in an Eichler (Mid Century Modern from the 50's) that has a flat roof. In 2014 we installed solar AND had the roof foamed Today it is 90 Degrees outside and 75 inside WITH the windows open. That is a huge difference and means unlike our neighbor we do not have to run our HVAC

Insulation plus the white reflective coating works well. Also our solar system is now 10 years old and still chugging away with no fuss.over 62 mega watts generated to date and provide more shade
