Video

Hello. I love your videos and have been following your progress for a few years. What you are doing is so impressive and seeing what you are doing is a real highlight of my day. Anyway, I was on CZcams tonight and this video from the Ohio Historical Society popped up about a Lustron Home they have at their museum. Side note, there were so many videos from different people and places and their Lustrons on the viewing page. I lived and still work in Columbus and I know there a several Lustrons which are still being lived in, mostly on the eastside. This is more than likely because the airport is on the eastside and their manufacturing plant was at the Columbus airport. I also found a website with a brief history of Lustron and the first Lustron put up. It was, of course, in Columbus, Ohio. I will send you the link to the website in another comment. Enjoy the video! czcams.com/video/mwFonBxpDWs/video.htmlsi=VkW8dJOGKpD1ygY3

I can't wait for some trash can TikTok "influencer" to try and buy this house and then "modernize" its aesthetic. /s

You're doing god's work. Making the world a better place.

Hi Kaleb and Kim. I have been subscribed since your Lustron update and I have systematically gone back to the beginning of your content and been watching them all. I just saw that you lost Hank last year and I just wanted to say how sorry I am. We lost our 23 year old cat, in July, last year too and this month has been really difficult, because we still miss his amazing personality and sense of humour so much. Love and hugs from New Zealand. 💗

There were a few in Peoria, IL. A couple still exist. One in my childhood neighborhood got covered with vinyl siding. Precursor to Lustron was a house made by R. G. LeTourneau. in Peoria. They were welded together and had a flat roof originally. They were actually floated down the Illinois River. There are several examples that have been heavily modified in Peoria Heights. One almost original example is at the Wheels-O-Time museum in Peoria on display. It was originally in the center of the WABCO (now Komatsu) factory and used as a tool room.

It sucks that people immediately talk of fallout when these houses or retro things in general are talked about, they cant just stand on their own.

Caleb, come on. we need to see videos every week. we get discouraged not seeing anything.

I have a television set like that and if you plug in a VHS/DVD player that has a rabbit ear hookup you can buy the cord and plug it into the tv and you can probably hook up a streaming devise to the player.

😢

Arson? Urban clearing? Slow re-wilding? One wonders...

Is this channel done? Sad to see, I really enjoyed following this restoration and even contributed to the roof gofundme. Egg on my face.

Will there be tours of the completed project? I'm psyched to see it! Also, I collect midcentury decor and furniture if we could contribute at all.

Hey were you been?

Mama Murphy and Sturgis can work on it or at lease taking it apart.

Absolutely one of my favorite aesthetics. We once had such dreams and hopes for the bleak future that we live in now. I feel you are lucky to have such an ambitious father and I envy your ability to work with him. Hope you have fun! Thank you for sharing.

Glad you're spending time with your Dad 🤗❤ Hope you get your lift fixed😪🤔have a good week 👍🤗 Love Sue ❤❤❤❤❤❤

You guys should try to find a working Philco Predicta TV for the house, they were made in the 1950s and were the inspiration for the Radiation King TVs in fallout. They’re also seen in the fallout 4 houses that were inspired by Lustron homes.

There are a bunch of these houses in Great Bend, Kansas. Your dad sounds like a really cool dude.

I used to have a cat much like Sandy, and that was his name, too! And he loved being draped over my shoulder!

I’m not big into airbnbs, but this is a wildly passionate project. He collected the magazines from 1955 so they can read the magazines for the month of their stay. 🥹

That exhaust fan in the kitchen is absolute, pure awesomeness.

Music unnecessary.Your work visuals and conversation are sufficiently interesting and need no padding or distractions.

I can't believe people can be so mean, but don't pay them ANY mind. You are worth 1,000 of those individuals, keep on going Kaleb, many, many more of us support you!

Nice job Guys

I Love The Pink Hippo

those houses are giving the Fallout franchise

People are so, so, ignorant. This past week I saw footage of a house in Georgia which was built in 1927 that I had seen on CZcams about 5 years ago and it has burnt to the ground. It was an amazing house and to see how it has ended up is so so sad. People do not appreciate historic buildings.

Lot of work!

Beautiful

Oh no. I miss the front yard tree. Needs more bushes too.😊

Charles Phoenix is a 1950s fan with an eponymous channel here and a big following. When you’re done with this amazing house, please consider offering him a tour. He does many tours of 1950s themed homes as well as showcase 50s classic cars. Great job!!!

Ive got a great pro tip for you when it comes to the vintage Westinghouse tv you showed. Send it to Bob Andersen in Chicago for a complete electronic restoration. He’s got a great channel here at bobandersentv Anything less than that is like running a 1955 T-Bird on its original oil and sparks. The tv will fail dramatically and it’s transformer will be damaged by out of tolerance caps and resistors if you don’t have the guts restored. And that’s be a shame because it would be an awesome tv for your amazing house. Can’t wait to see it all come together!

It has been three weeks. I hope he doesn't lose his subscribers.

One thing that sucks about Lafayette square is Peabody neighborhood… nightly shootings definitely turn people off from living there. That goes for your neighborhood as well. If the low quality people didn’t live there people would pour in and bring it back up. Until then I don’t see hope for it

Where is your Mr Handy?

The town I live in has two houses made like that. I got to go in one and it was all original. So cool.

“This house is more like a car than a house” my gun has a serial number that doesn’t mean it’s more like a car than a gun… my trailer has a serial number (all trailers and Mobil homes do) that doesn’t mean you can drive it around… In fact manufactured houses often have seriel numbers…. Serial numbers do not = car dork… I thought this house was automated and ran of petrol or something… serial number get outta town

The link to buy one of those hoodies is not working. The company that makes this mortar is very close to where I live, less than 10 miles, so I'll be able to get some without having to pay for shipping, which is a bonus. It's GREAT seeing someone from a younger generation (I'm creeping up on 60 at the end of the year), who is not only interested in preserving, and restoring a grand old beauty like this, but actually doing it hands on rather than just throwing a pile of money at someone else to do the work for you. This world we live in today, would be a much better place with more people in it like you. BTW, I'm a first time viewer, and a new subscriber.

I wish you'd tell us when you aren't gonna post its been 3 weeks now where i get excited for a new video and nothing....im very close to unsubscribing

I called my dad "dad".

Why did you not use a automotive paint on the metal, as opposed to regular house paint. And automotive paint either one stage or three stage four of giving you lifetime clean ability.

YAYAYA!!!! I've been waiting for this! I want this shower! My parents had a modern version of this and I loved it!

Shower is looking great! Been waiting to see you put in the needle shower!
