We wanted to let our clients and friends know
that we are hosting an exclusive
event later this month which is designed to educate
attendees on the process of building a modern prefab home in the San Francisco
Bay Area. 



Importantly, we've hosted a
similar event in the past (with a speaker from Michelle Kaufmann Design) which &quot;sold out&quot;
quickly so we wanted to share this information with our blog followers early.

A recent Marin IJ story, &quot;Living Small&quot; spotlighted a very cool prototype
for a 2nd unit that is state of the art and energy
efficient.  It utilizes photovoltaic
panels, on-demand water heater, state mandated insulation, energy efficient
appliances and takes advantage of passive heating in winter months.  Many communities are making it &quot;somewhat&quot; easier to add
a second unit as a way to meet affordable housing goals. Think of all the possibilities from an in-law un... ]]> </description>

Over fifty years later, Joseph Eichler's iconic mid-century modern homes are still as popular as ever and San Rafael (Terra Linda and Lucas Valley), is full of them.  I have had the good fortune to live in one for the last eight years. I love the floor to ceiling windows, feasibility of one level living, indoor outdoor lifestyle and up until a year ago my fabulous radiant heat.  Radiant heat, a classic element in Eichler's building style, is a marvelous heating system that allows hot water... ]]> </description>

Earlier this week on a balmy fall evening, my husband and I
walked the hills above San Rafael on our way to dinner on Fourth Street.  The beauty of living in the West
End Neighborhood is the proximity to downtown San Rafael and San
Anselmo.



Our walk took us up Spring Grove  where we took a trail that landed us on Upper Toyon in Kentfield and a
beautiful sunset over Mt. Tam, then meandered down another trail to Gerstle Park and from
there to downtown. We were hungry but not in... ]]> </description>

If you're looking for a guide to the
West End and San Rafael or a personal history of the Great Depression and World
War Two, or maybe a unique garden tour, a musical evening, just the right screw
for that broken door hinge or perhaps just some fatherly advice, then all roads
should lead you to Stan Kosta's home on a quiet cul-de-sac above the Miracle Mile.

who turned 93 last year, has lived in his two-bedroom house since he bought it

Perhaps you are preparing to move to another home locally or
across the country.  Maybe you are about
to embark on a major remodel of your home and need to move much of your
belongings out for a fixed period of time. 
Another scenario finds you getting ready to sell your home.  You've selected a realtor, met with the
stager and you need to make way for some important staging and accessorizing of
your main living areas.  Your garage is
already packed to the gills so what exact... ]]> </description>

            <description> <![CDATA[ 
 

This is a brief overview of why curbside composting is so important, how to do it right and who can participate in it.

WHO:  First off there are several major refuse service providers in Marin County.  Each one, except Bay City Refuse in Sausalito, has implemented a curbside composting service and each has their own rules as to what they accept. Links to their composting policies are provided in bold. Weekly curbside pick-up is available for single-family homes in residential areas from ... ]]> </description>
