Hassan Schroeder noted that:
>>Eichler (<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Eichler>) homes
>>in Northern California had "radiant heat" floors using hot water
>>pipes embedded in the concrete slab.
>>Eichler houses were architecturally stunning for the time,
>>but still priced as middle-class tract homes.
Hi Hassan,
[Sorry for the delay ... Pesky work!]
Actually they still seem pretty cool! ;-)
Cool enough to have a following keeping track of them:

It *is* Cali though, so the $900k for less than 2000 sq ft
may strike _some_ of us as being a tad beyond middle-class.
>>I lived in one in Marin with my parents from 1959 to 1964.
>>It was really comfortable having a warm floor, though the tiles
>>on the floor tended to get soft, and furniture feet left permanent
>>marks :-)
Why you you _old_ person you!! ;-P
