7229 Wickford Drive
Click on the images to view the full size photo.
Dayaaaammmmm, that's a nice car!
Shingles look like they are a little old. It's hard to tell in the photo, but there are a lot of calcium deposits on them, along with fading in several spots. I've roofed houses before, and I know that once they start looking like this, it makes sense to start shopping for bulk quantity deals at Home Depot. Luckily Carmen could get you a discount on GAF asphalt shingles!!!!
House is aluminum siding. Has been painted recently.
I checked the manufacturer's tag on this AC unit. It was built in July of 1991. That's really old. Trane's are high quality, but I think this may be on it's last of days.
All of the upgraded flooring is immaculate. Moulding and walls look great.
A lot of the screens in the house need to be replaced. Not a deal breaker and definitely something that could be negotiated into the cost of the house. They appear to be the original screens when all of the windows were replaced 15+ years ago.
View from the street down your super long driveway. Might want to buy a snow blower for the winter, especially if we get 18" of snow like last winter :)
Fence is a bit rickety. Bogey could easily jump it. At it's lowest point, it appears to be around 30" tall.
OK, video time. Here are a bunch of clips I uploaded to YouTube. Apologies if the camera work makes you motion sick (hey, I'm a social media consultant, not Spielberg...)

Design Sketches: May 2006
About a year before I found my condo, I came across a plot of land here in Arlington. The price was in the ball park of what I could afford, so I immediately began to come up with ideas on what I could build in the small space. Below is an idea for I came up with. I had some basic criteria for my dream starter home:
1. Modern style
2. Low maintenance
3. Balcony or deck
4. Garage
5. Sized for 1 to 2 people.
Here are some different ideas I came up with:

Design Sketches: April 2007
Three years ago, when I was in the "uber real estate anticipation" waiting period (that period between when your offer has been accepted and the titling company drags their feet putting together all of the closing documents for several weeks), I passed my time by sketching up some preliminary ideas about what my A/V closet would include. Some of the choices in electronics changed (for instance, I opted for an Apple TV device rather than a traditional Windows Media Center computer as I became an Apple-only household). Yes, this is the nerdy stuff...
