Renovating Distinctive
Homes: 1½ Storey Post-War Homes |
Produced for professional renovators and
do-it-yourself-ers, this book outlines how to properly inspect and renovate one
of the most popular styles of housing build after World War II: the 1 ½
storey house. Approximately 300,000 of these homes were built in Canada between
1945 and 1960 to meet the housing needs of returning veterans. Popular because
of their simple, economical construction, many are now in need of repair and
upgrading.
The book describes post-war construction practices and
outlines how to best renovate this type of home. It also describes how to
incorporate modern trends such as healthy and adaptable housing when doing
renovations. Main sections cover typical problems found in homes over 50 years
old, renovation planning, and details on popular renovations made to this type
of home, including ways to increase space. . |
