Let's get the scary part out of the way first. Your mid-century house, the one you love for its charm and quirks, does not comply with the modern building code.

Now, no one is going to knock on your door tomorrow demanding you rewire every outlet in the house. Your home is currently grandfathered into every code statute written and approved after the day it was built. This status is a free pass for your house to just exist ... until you decide it's time to actually start remodeling.

In Today's Episode You'll Hear:

  • Why your home's grandfathered status ends the moment you start remodeling.
  • What the building code is really for (hint: the answer is not “making your life difficult”).
  • How code compliance requirements create design opportunities.
