Let’s try this again! If you caught last week’s show, you know we had technical problems with the streaming hardware. This time, we’re back on a new setup. The computer gremlins can’t stop SketchUp Live!
“Seven first-floor rooms on a city lot” boasts a headline in the February 1952 issue of Better Homes & Gardens. The Five Star Home Plan Service gave post-war families access to plans, specifications, a contractor-and-owner agreement, and a cost-finding list of materials—all through the mail.
Back then you would have to enclose $5 in a postal money order to the magazine to build from these plans. Today, Aaron can model Five Star Home No. 2202 in a scant couple of hours!
See you there!
