I know a lot of you live near Daly City (perhaps Sunset) and anyways, this is a shameless plug for a personal friend of mine (my best friend actually) who’s a plumber in Daly City.

If anyone of you need a plumber (even in San Francisco), you need to contact my friend Josh.  I know for a fact that Josh does a real good job on plumbing at affordable rates than most national plumbing companies out there.

Josh does any type of residential/commercial plumbing and general plumbing services, commercial plumbing, copper repiping, sump pump installation.

Make sure you tell Josh that SFBlogg.com referred you and he will make sure to give you a “personal” service.

Check out his new Daly City Plumbing site.

Casa Verde - Green Home in Mission District!

My dream is to own a green home in San Francisco. Of course, I’d like to own a home near the Golden Gate Bridge where price tag of houses are more than at least $2-3 million.

In the meanwhile, you can enjoy green homes such as this one featured in the Mission District.

Designed by architect John Lum, the building — which includes a main house and an apartment — occupies a 50- by 70-foot corner lot. Lum’s plan maximizes natural light and airflow on each of three levels, with rooms leading off an open, central stairway made of glass and steel. The main living and dining areas and kitchen are on the top floor to take advantage of views across the city. “It’s kind of an upside-down house,” Lum explains. “The public spaces are at the top, and the more private master suite and guest rooms are below.”

But what makes the home truly groundbreaking are the eco-features it incorporates, some of them still in experimental stages. For example, hot water will be provided by rooftop tubes that collect solar energy, says Matt Golden, founder and CEO of Sustainable Spaces and a project consultant. The home’s electricity will come from SunPower solar panels and a wind turbine installed in the backyard — a power source so unusual in San Francisco, the builder had to get a one-year provisional test permit before it could be installed. A high-tech resource-monitoring system will keep tabs on energy and water use.

The best place to park at Ocean Beach during a busy summer day is on the Great Highway, where you can access the “non-busy” part of Ocean Beach.

Well, I took the liberty of taking some colorful pictures of the unique little houses on the Great Highway on our way back from the Beach Trip.  Btw, if you have 2 or 3 story house, you get a very nice ocean view.

But don’t let the size full you, each of these houses are probably more than $1-2 million if you wanted to buy one.

Well, I live in Parkmerced and my neighbor moved out, who lived in a 3 bedroom apartment on the 12th floor.

I decided to take a peak since the door was left open and show you a nice tour of 270 degrees of ocean view.

I live in a 1 bedroom apartment but the 3 bedroom apartment is awesome!

Sunset district is the part of San Francisco that is next to the ocean, basically the whole west part is mostly sunset.

Why is it called sunset?

Because the sunsets and you can see it everyday if you live in a high rise apartment or a house on a hill.

Of course, you can always head over to ocean beach too.

Parkmerced is a big complex of high rise apartments in the SF Sunset district area.  This is where I live.

Now, Parkmerced is actually adjacent to San Francisco State College, which makes it great place for college students to live but you do have to face some party noise and lots of construction.

Although I do have my complaints, it’s not that bad when you live on the top 12th floor.

So, if you ever decide to go live at Parkmerced, make sure to get 12th floor.  (The best time is around Summer time between July and August, you should be able to get a 12th floor apartment with an ocean view. )

Right now, I pay about $1800 in rent plus covered garage parking for a spacious 1 bedroom apartment.  The living room is fairely large and diamond shaped so it’s nice.

Sunset district is much cheaper than anywhere else in the city plus there’s lots of really cheap to-go chinese food as there are so many chinese restaurants, they are all competing so you pay less.

Sunset is also a lot less crowded and there’s more parking.  But, don’t expect it to be easy, anywhere in the city it’s a tough contest to find parking.

Other than the view, I guess my next plan is to move out right next to the Ocean and get a small house someday so I can walk to the beach.

Here’s some shots from the 12th floor at Parkmerced:
