Pictorial Modernism, This Modern Life

3712 Merridan

I was able to visit 3712 Merridan the other day and all I can say is: "wow". It is a gem of a place.

It looks dingy in the pictures, but under the wallpaper, smoke stained walls and carpet is a relatively untouched Eichler and a great floorplan. When going through a place like this — at least for me — I'm looking at what it could be more so that what it is. Frankly, presently, it isn't much and not a place that is in move-in condition… but some light-duty renovation would bring this back in short order.

Random Rules

As randomness would have it, the house for sale that I visited today is very close to Jeff and Chanda's house. I met Jeff when he stopped by for some sliding door parts a few years ago with his super-cute daughter, Katie… and — as things go around here — we keep (happily) bumping into one another.

By day, Jeff saves lives at the County Hospital, but it's obvious that he (and a few friends and relatives) have stayed busy in the down-time… their house looks amazing. Take a look.

The House with the Yellow Door

With the help of Stefan, TJ and Jacob, we finished the grinding, sanding and painting of the exterior beams and fascia and a few coats of paint later, I think we've finally finished the front-exterior of the house (save the sidelight window replacement conveniently hidden by the cherry tree in the below photo). It's quite a transformation from where we began a few years ago.
