This Old House (1979)

Episode Overview

We explore the newly added second-story master suite of the Santa Barbara bungalow, enjoying breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Next, we visit a quaint art-tile kiln in Ojai, where Jan's Arts-and-Crafts style tiles for the backsplash, countertops, and fireplace are being crafted. General contractor Steve Crawford talks about the design hurdles he encounters while trying to maintain a genuine historic appearance for the exterior. Due to city fire regulations aimed at preventing wildfires, he will need to incorporate modern, fire-resistant materials like Class A fire-rated asphalt roofing and fiber-cement shingles.
