Education & Community

Marin Home Resource Guide

Dedication to Education— A Cornerstone of the Marin Builders Association Supporting education across Marin County is central to the work of the Marin Builders Association and its members. IN LATE 2016, the Marin Builders Association Board of Directors supported community school bond measures that are now helping rebuild our education infrastructure in San Rafael and across several College of Marin campuses. We support dozens of educational programs across Marin to empower youth in leadership roles and prepare them to be contributors to the Marin workforce and community. It is refreshing to witness the brilliance, creativity and can-do attitudes of the students we work with in these valuable programs.

2017

SCHOLARSHIPS Since 1978, the Marin Builders Association Scholarship Program has provided almost $1 million to nearly 1,000 students. Graduating high school seniors have gone on to successful careers in many industries including construction, engineering, architecture, public service and medicine.

CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY In partnership with the Marin County Office of Education, we helped create the Regional Occupational Program (ROP) Construction Technology Education program in 1999. This program provides educational and career opportunities for youth as well as “realworld,” hands-on learning. Each year, teams construct top quality storage sheds that are sold to the public.

MEMBER SUPPORT OF CAREER TRAINING AND ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP Many of our members are dedicated to supporting education in our community. For example, long-time member Clough Construction has a strong commitment to local organizations such as Marin School of Environmental Leadership (MSEL) and Global Student Embassy (GSE). Clough Construction and other Association members have found passion and purpose in donating time and advertising dollars to these organizations. MSEL at Terra Linda High School is a four-year program with a cutting-edge pilot program that emphasizes project-based environmental learning. The public speaking experiences and project implementation prepares these students for college and career opportunities. GSE is an organization with participation in 19 Bay Area schools, including 4 in Marin County. GSE offers accredited environmental classes and supports 19 gardens in the Bay Area that grow organic food. GSE encourages students... » 8

» to travel abroad and offers environmental leadership opportunities in foreign countries as well as a chance to work with local communities. This trip is often the highlight of a student’s high school years.

LOOKING AHEAD The North Bay Workforce Alliance has recently launched the BrightFutures program, involving local professionals who speak with local youth for one hour per year about their careers. Several members of the Association have already signed up to participate. Research in the United Kingdom has found that youth who attended five or more career talks saw 15% higher wages by their mid-20s. Youth who participated in two or more career talks were up to 20% less likely to disengage from education, employment or training.

Story By Marin Builders Member:

Brad Hubbell & Suzanne Daily

We have a simple solution: the Preliminary Estimate. This estimate involves a meeting with you, the architect and the contractor, and a review of the project’s scope based on the schematic design. As part of your Preliminary Estimate there are a few important steps you need to take. Here’s how to go through the phases:

Hubbell Daily Architecture + Design www.hubbelldaily.com

marinbuilders.org

PROJECT TIMELINE From Pre-Design to Construction, the Project Planning Process illustrated by Brad Hubbell.

1 THE DREAM PHASE YOU ARE INSPIRED by images you see on Houzz and Pinterest or in magazines and books. Maybe you’d like to emulate some design features of homes in your neighborhood. You are excited, and with that excitement comes a growing wish list: new wood floors, larger windows, a new kitchen, updated bathrooms. Or maybe you decide you want the dream home with the latest technology and trimmings. Three things to keep in mind: 1. Prioritize as you work through the “dreaming” process. 2. Be aware that priorities often change. 3. Establish a realistic budget that defines exactly how much you’re comfortable spending. Okay, you’re ready for action. Now what? First, you need a team, then you need a design, and then you can work on the Preliminary Estimate.

Finding a reputable licensed professional is critical when building or planning any major home improvement project.

2 THE TEAM

3 THE BUDGET

THE FIRST STEP is to find an architect or builder with whom you are comfortable and whose work you believe synchronizes well with your personality and taste. Finding a reputable licensed professional is critical when building or planning any major home improvement project. Stay local, check credentials, and confirm their license. Ask questions such as: • How long have they been in business? • Is the company in good standing with the license board? • Do they have references?

ONE OF THE most important steps in the remodeling process is to have honest conversations about budget with your architect or contractor. If they don’t bring up the budget, initiate the conversation yourself. Addressing issues up front helps you avoid unnecessary challenges later. You might think you’re at a disadvantage because you’ve never done this before and contractors and architects do this every day. You may think they know what things cost when you don’t even know if the figure in your head is realistic. Or, you may think they are going to take advantage of your inexperience and be inclined not to divulge how much you can actually spend on the project. In our experience, the most successful projects occur when we have an open dialogue with our clients about their budget. As architects, we work with our clients from the beginning to design or remodel a home that answers their needs, enhances their lives and, perhaps most important, meets their budget. Unless we have that frank discussion about the budget up front, we don’t have essential information to execute on the design. »

Do your homework. It may feel like you’re searching for a unicorn, but doing so will be critical to the success of your project and will help prevent possible delays or complications. While there may seem to be an endless list of resources online, here are some of the best we recommend to kickstart your search: • Marin Builders Association • Marin Home Resource Guide • Next Door Don’t forget to look around your neighborhood. See who’s building. Find neighbors who are in the middle of construction or who have completed a similar project and discuss their experience.

Before

4 THE DESIGN THE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT wish list and budget ultimately flow into settling on a design. Be prepared to answer questions, such as: • Are you remodeling the whole house or just a portion of it? • Are some parts getting new finishes while other parts are being gutted? • What areas of the home will be touched? • Are you hoping to live in the house while the work is performed? • Does the plumbing or electrical need updating? • Are you thinking this is a phased project? In other words, will you do part of it now and the rest in a few years? (This can be one way to decrease the immediate costs. However, be sure that the work you do now doesn’t need to be redone later.) The answers to these questions will serve as your architect’s guide to the schematic design, which lays out the basis of your dream project without the necessary code elements required for a building permit.

FINALLY, THE PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE

ONCE YOU AND your team have agreed on a schematic design, but before creating detailed drawings for building permit submittal, comes the Preliminary Estimate. Your architect invites a contractor they recommend, or a contractor you’ve selected, to sit down and systematically review the project. Contractors should be paid for their time. 22

When we do preliminary estimates, we reference a spreadsheet with more than 100 items specific to a project. This serves as a checklist to cover the project’s scope, from General Conditions (the contractor’s project-support costs, such as temporary utilities and port-a-potty) and the various construction elements (e.g., grading, framing, finishes, electrical, plumbing) to soft costs (e.g., permit costs, other supporting professional fees such as Structural Engineer, Landscape Architect). For each item, the architect and contractor come up with a high value and a low value (“could be as little as… or as much as…”). These value ranges are based on our mutual experiences and current building industry costs. Though it isn’t a crystal ball, this process provides a fairly good window into where the project is headed. After your 1 1/2- to 2-hour meeting, you will have a Preliminary Estimate you can review. If it looks too high, take advantage of having both the architect and contractor present and brainstorm ways to cut costs. This is similar to an online shopping cart: All the thoughts, ideas, and dreams come together with an associated, rough estimate for the project’s cost. Best of all, you still have time to change the design without spending thousands of dollars in fees and hundreds of hours developing documents for permit submittal or construction.

Unless we have that frank discussion about the budget up front, we don’t have essential information to execute on the design.

6 AFTER THE PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE AT THIS POINT, most projects continue, the documents are refined and submitted, and the work is completed successfully. We have found that the rough estimate ends up straddling the final cost. How close together they are depends on what you add to the project or how much you decrease costs (called “value-engineering the project”). Value-engineering aims at keeping the spirit of your project alive while re-assessing your priorities, which should have been laid out when you did your initial wish list. If you are over your budget and want to keep your wish list, an option is to place your project on hold while you take a breather and assess your priorities and resource allocation. We’ve had some clients project out as much as two years. Some contractors don’t want to go through an itemized list of costs for fear they are getting “locked into” a price. That is not the intent of this exercise. More than anything, it is a budgetary checkup on the project. When the estimate is completed fluidly and openly, the end result is an excellent tool as you move the project forward.

SUMMA RY REVIEWING THE COSTS with your architect and contractor is educational for everyone involved: You gain a greater understanding and appreciation for the building process; the contractor gains a greater understanding of the project and your concerns; and the architect gains greater knowledge of the construction costs, which then helps guide future projects to remain on budget. The main ingredients to make a Preliminary Estimate successful: • From you: a prioritized wish list and a budget • From the architect: a streamlined spreadsheet of the project – such as an outline specification in Excel format — catered to the needs of the project • From the contractor: knowledge of the costs associated with project completion and the ability to stay flexible Do yourself a favor and take the time to create a Preliminary Estimate with your architect and contractor. It could determine whether or not you reach the finish line within your budget and with your project priorities in place. Don’t sell yourself short and run over budget before you finish or, more likely, overspend and have to pull money from long-term savings. The Preliminary Estimate is essentially your ‘online’ shopping cart view before you formally commit to your purchase. Let’s build together at marinbuilders.org

Hiring a Contractor Interview By: Rick Vacek

Marin Home Resource Guide

2017

Hiring A Contractor? Do It Once. Do It Right. Choosing a reputable and professional contractor is important in ensuring the success of your home improvement project. But the process of comparing bids and drawing a favorable contract is not as clear-cut as it might seem — it can’t be rushed if the work is going to get done properly and within your budget. It stands to reason, for example, that the best contractors are the busiest. They can’t be expected to drop everything and hop right on to your project. They usually are worth the wait.

Marin Builders Member:

Brian McLeran McLeran Roofing www.mcleranroofing.com

BRIAN MCLERAN of McLeran Roofing in San Rafael emphasizes the importance of doing thorough research to determine exactly what you want, how much you’re willing to spend, and when it needs to be done. “The homeowner can check on the status of a contractor’s license, insurance, and bond as well as possible consumer complaints against a license,” McLeran says. “Asking one or two friends and a few neighbors about their experiences is a good source of information as well.” Then there’s social media, which can be very helpful but also very misleading. “Be aware that opinions may be subjective,” McLeran says. “Use social media, but be careful in drawing final conclusions regarding contractors.” The State Contractors License Board (CSLB), through the California Department of Consumer Affairs, provides a wealth of information about choosing a good contractor. It recommends getting at least three bids, and as those bids come in it’s important to make sure the contractor’s state license number is listed. You can check it at cslb.ca.gov or by calling 800-321-CSLB (2752). It’s not enough to verify that the contractor has a license. You also should see if it’s current.

The CSLB advises against automatically picking the lowest bid. Too good to be true might mean the contractor made a mistake in drafting the bid or is not including all of the work you want to get done. If the contractor sends a salesperson to meet with you, ask the representative for proof that they are a Home Improvement Salesperson registered with the CSLB. They should have a registration card and a photo I.D. All contractors must have a valid address and phone number on their card. That information will be on the CSLB site previously listed. If you aren’t happy with the work, someone operating a business out of the back of a truck might be hard to reach. Contractors are required by the state to have insurance, including workers’ compensation insurance if they have employees, and a contractor license bond of $15,000. You want to be protected in case there’s an accident on your property. However, don’t expect the bond to protect you in the case of shoddy work or results that don’t meet local building codes. As the CSLB website clearly states, “Bonds do not assure the financial or professional integrity or competency of a contractor. Institutional lenders such as savings and loans, insurance companies or

10 Tips for Making Sure Your Contractor Measures up Hire only licensed contractors

Confirm that the contractor has workers’ compensation insurance for employees

Check a contractor’s license number at www.cslb.ca.gov or 800.321.CSLB

Never pay more than 10% down or $1,000, whichever is less * Don’t pay in cash.

Get three references from each bidder and review past work in person

Don’t let payments get ahead of the work

Get at least three bids

Keep a job file of all papers relating to your project, including all payments

Make sure all project expectations are in writing and only sign the contract if you completely understand the terms

Don’t make the final payment until you’re satisfied with the job

commercial banks generally require licensed contractors to secure bonds for large jobs.” Let’s say you want to get a new roof put on your home. Here’s how it should work: “Most roofing contractors will be happy to inspect your roof and give you an opinion on the overall condition and serviceable life of your roof at no charge,” McLeran says. “It is a good idea to plan ahead because many roofing contractors keep busy schedules and need lead time to provide you with the best service. “Roofs are divided into two

...the key word — TIME — for both you and the contractor. Don’t rush the process. basic types: low-sloped roofs and sloped roofs. Common materials for low-sloped roofs include tar and gravel, single-ply system and foam. Materials for sloped roofs include shingles, slate and tile. Your roofing contractor can guide you in choosing the proper material for your home.”

McLeran emphasizes asking questions and being fully educated about the scope of the project. Work of this nature “can be an intimidating experience, but it needn’t be if you take the time to do a little research before you start your project,” he adds. That’s the key word — time — for both you and the contractor. Don’t rush the process. Do your homework, be thorough, and enjoy the outcome. Let’s build together at marinbuilders.org

5 Things to Consider Before You Build Many people interested in designing and building a custom project start with the question: “How much will it cost to build?” When people hear the answer, their next question is, “Why? I thought it would be less expensive.” Following are some comments homeowners make about their design/ build projects and our responses to their comments.

Story By Marin Builders Member:

Kevin Casey New Avenue Homes www.newavenuehomes.com

“My friend told me that projects can be built for $200 per square foot.” For years people have heard a general rule of thumb that houses can be built for $200 per square foot (or $200/sqft). They think that if a 3,000-square-foot house costs $600,000 to build, then a 500-square-foot remodel or guest house should cost $100,000 (500 square feet x $200 per foot = $100,000). But this just isn’t true. The $200/sqft number can be accurate, but the size of the house has to be large enough to take advantage of economies of scale. Generally, the bigger the house, the less expensive per square foot it is to build. The smaller a house is, the more expensive it is to build per square foot. In other words, to hit the $200/sqft number, you need to build a 2,500+ square-foot house.

When builders say they can build a house for $100/sq ft, they are talking about the cost to build in a subdivision in some place like Atlanta. They are not factoring in design, engineering or permitting costs. These costs alone are often an additional 20% of the building cost. They are also not factoring in quality construction you’d expect in almost any coastal or metropolitan area. In many places, costs of $500–$1,000 per square foot are not only common, but include the cost of the quality and finish-level owners expect. The cost per square foot can change dramatically based on the location of the project. For example, costs to build in a coastal city can be as low as $200/sqft but modern projects in Dwell Magazine are easily in the $500/sqft or even $1,000/sqft range. As home prices continue to increase around the country, the cost of building increases as well.

2 “I just want a simple house.” That’s great. But even a simple house is a complex feat of permitting, engineering and back-breaking labor. These things take time and money. As an owner, it is helpful to know that all projects are built using the same process: a. Figure out what you can build, including permit requirements, in your city or county. b. Work with an architect or designer to draw up the size, look and shape in a “schematic” design. c. Submit the design to the planning department to get planning permits. d. Once you have the planning permit, have the architect draw up construction documents for a building permit. This often requires two or three engineers such as structural, soils and civil. e. Determine all the “finishes,” which include appliances, faucets and fixtures, materials, tile, paint colors, landscaping, and utilities. f. Work with builders to get bids, select one, sign a construction agreement, prepare the land, pour a foundation, frame the house, enclose the house, hook up water/electric/sewer, and install finishes. Whether you build something that is 500 square feet or 5,000 square feet, all of these steps need to be taken.

“

Whether you build something that is 500 square feet or 5,000 square feet, all of these steps need to be taken.

“I’m thinking of a prefab house because it’s easier.” This is possible, but it really depends on your site, existing home, and personal goals. Blu Homes and Living Homes are the top of the line if you go this route. Buying a home that is built somewhere else can reduce design fees, but it still needs to meet your city and county codes and then be permitted. After that the house needs to be shipped to your location, and if that location is in an urban setting, you’re looking at significant costs to shut down streets and hire a crane to lift the unit into place. Once your house arrives, you will have paid for the same foundation and water/electric/sewer hookups that you need with a stick-built home. By the time all of this adds up, you are looking at a similar price to building a custom house. And while you don’t have to spend time designing prefab, you still have to spend all the time getting permits. Most importantly, a custom home allows you to design something specific to both your needs and the lot on which it will reside.

“My uncle is a handyman or contractor and can build for me cheaply.” The best way to save money is to do the work yourself. It will take you a long time and you will make mistakes, but it can be an amazing and fun experience. One of our favorite projects was a Normandy-style stone house in Upstate NY. The walls on the home are 2-feet thick stone! »Continued on page 36

Smart Home Interview By: Rick Vacek

Marin Home Resource Guide

2017

The New Home is a Smart Home —is Yours? From the time “The Jetsons” were part of the Saturday morning routine, many futuristic television shows and movies have had one thing in common: Something always goes wrong with the technology and causes big problems. Unfortunately, for many owners of “smart homes,” problems have been all too real. Too often, expensive gadgets haven’t lived up to the hype.

Marin Builders Member:

Shubber Ali Centriq Technology, Inc. www.centriqhome.com

Here’s a guide to what homeowners with a dash of George Jetson in them should be looking for now:

SMART “PASSIVE” HOME TECH “THE VAST MAJORITY of the tech being hyped out there is still nowhere close to being ready for prime time,” says Shubber Ali, co CEO/Founder of Centriq Technology Inc. in San Rafael. “Much of it is finicky and glitch prone and often is aimed at the techsavvy subset of the market that is happy taking the cover off things and tinkering to get them to work. This defeats the real purpose of ‘smart’ home technology — to avoid hassles.” While there are signs of improvement, Ali advises homeowners to choose carefully to avoid getting stuck with incompatible devices. He divides home tech into three sectors — passive, active and interactive. Then there’s smart homeowner tech, offered by Centriq with an award-winning free app.

Ali says there are three winners in this category: thermostats, door locks and monitoring. The programmable thermostat is nothing new, but it has confused many a homeowner who simply wanted to turn it up or down a tad. The Nest smart home thermostat solved that, quite simply, by being quite simple. It has built-in artificial intelligence that learns what you like and when, and then it adjusts automatically over time. “No more figuring out start/stop times and weekdays/ weekends,” Ali says. “The thermostat learns for you. And, of course, it has a mobile app, so you can adjust your temperature when you aren’t at home, too.” Many companies offer smart door locks in a variety of fits and finishes and with a range

Don’t let your smart home make you feel as if you’re living in a cartoon — get the right technology of features from the very simple (just punch in numbers on a digital keypad) to the more complex (hand scanners that require your unique signature). A number of companies have also found their way into the home-monitoring business. There are two choices: Buy hardware that is installed by you or a technician, or sign up for home service from one of the big cable providers. The downside to the latter, of course, is the monthly subscription fee.

SMART “ACTIVE” HOME TECH Ali takes a dim view of products in this segment of the market, such as smart light switches, water sensors to tell you if your washing machine has sprung a leak and refrigerators that keep track of how much milk is left. “For the most part, these are technologies trying to solve problems that don’t really exist, and many of the products have fizzled in the market — we’re all pretty aware of when the milk is almost empty,” he says.

“Others have received less than favorable feedback in blogs, such as the light switch that took 15 minutes of fiddling with the app to get working, and still others simply aren’t worth the cost/benefit trade-off at this point. In a few years, as the tech becomes more glitch-resistant and the costs come down, it’ll be worth looking at them.”

SMART "INTERACTIVE" HOME TECH Voice activation technology quickly has become part of everyday life. Ali says the clear leader is Amazon’s Alexa, which simply listens for what you want and then does it for you. It can play a song, set an alarm, call Lyft or Uber, check the wait time at the airport, or order a pizza.

SMART HOMEOWNER TECH One of the biggest issues facing a homeowner, Ali says, is simply knowing all of the what, where, when and how of their homes, and this is where the Centriq app comes in. “Simply snap photos of the nameplate on any appliance, and Centriq automatically brings you the user manuals, common spare parts linked to Amazon for easy shopping, and even how-to videos,” he says. “It also lets the homeowner store any other important information and even record personal video notes so you never forget how to do something that you might do infrequently.” That goes back to the main “smart home” challenge: knowing what to do when something goes wrong. Remember the closing line of “The Jetsons” as the credits rolled? “Help! Help! Jane, stop this crazy thing!” Don’t let your smart home make you feel like you’re living in a cartoon — get the right technology. Let’s build together at marinbuilders.org

Curb Appeal & Landscaping Interview By: Rick Vacek

Marin Home Resource Guide

2017

How's Your Curbside Manor? The outside of a home can be as important as the inside. Curb appeal can turn into curb catastrophe if proper care hasn’t been given to a good design and a solid maintenance plan. Besides, having a creative and functional outdoor space just makes a home more fun and livable. Marin Builders Member:

DAN FIX of Dan Fix Landscape Construction Company in San Rafael emphasizes several key components to making the best of what surrounds your home: •

•

Dan Fix Dan Fix Landscape Construction

• •

A design that takes into consideration the site’s limitations and the overall aesthetics Attention to water conservation, irrigation and drainage Well-crafted hardscape items such as patios, pathways, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens and fire pits Careful soil preparation Proper planting techniques

The right design, Fix says, is best accomplished by working with qualified landscape architects and contractors. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to find one yourself. Fix’s company, for example, doesn’t do design work, 32

but he has established relationships with knowledgeable, experienced professionals he trusts. The designer also has an important role in creating a garden that conserves water. “These days, water conservation plays a large role in any landscape design, with drought-tolerant plants taking center stage,” Fix says. “Quite often, however, the less talented designs are just a mish mash of plants that, while achieving low water usage, give the garden a haphazard look. This is where a good architect or designer makes the difference.” Even the most carefully designed garden won’t thrive without an irrigation system that keeps the plant pallet in mind and is site specific and microclimate oriented. Sun areas must be watered separately from shade areas to ensure the correct amount of water is applied to the landscape.  Fix says drainage is an often overlooked

aspect of a well-executed landscape installation. “It is critical that planning be done to ensure the heavy rains of winter are anticipated and that runoff from the landscape is collected and directed to the appropriate distribution area, be it a drain to the street or a dispersal area on the property,” he says. “Nobody likes to dodge big puddles when they take the garbage out. And you certainly don’t want water standing under your house from poor drainage or grading.” Hardscape items are a large part of the job for contractors. Their first mission is to make sure these potentially eye-catching features are designed according to local building codes and accepted building practices. “Depending on the materials, these items can be the most expensive aspects of garden installation and quite often the most dramatic,” Fix says. “It’s important to us that we bring the highest level of craftsmanship to these components because they are the

...the less talented designs are just a mish mash of plants that, while achieving low water usage, give the garden a haphazard look. This is where a good architect or designer makes the difference. bones of the garden, both in terms of visual appeal and overall function.” Anyone with a “brown thumb” who has ever watched their garden struggle to blossom is advised to pay attention to soil preparation. The existing site soil should be tested before planting to determine what nutrients are available or lacking in the soil. If the soil has been depleted of the necessary nutrients critical for healthy plant growth, this is the time to correct that. Fix recommends adding compost or other organic amenders and tilling into the top six inches of the planting areas to ensure healthy plants. Chemical compounds, which can be added using either organic or chemical fertilizers, might be needed. Many homeowners, especially those who don’t have much experience with building a garden, don’t know the mechanics of proper planting. Plants often are planted too deep, burying the crown of the plant in the soil and leading to crown rot and plant failure. Think about sun exposure and root growth. Make sure your garden has plenty of room to grow. Avoid the curb catastrophe. Follow these steps and you’ll have a colorful, healthy-looking yard that stands out.

»Continued from page 27 The owner spent seven years on the project. It is a $1,000,000 home that will cost less than half that and it is a work of art. We’re not counting this husband/wife team’s 10,000 hours of labor in our costs though. If you want to try a DIY project, just be really careful because construction can be back-breaking labor. The second best way to save money is to manage all the subs (electrician, foundation, framer, plumber, drywaller, etc.) yourself. The most skilled subs prefer not to work for inexperienced clients. They are concerned that your inexperience will require too much of their time as you make decisions, and that you will call them back repeatedly and they will end up making very little money due to the extra time. So owner-builders often get stuck with the second-tier subs, and that can be painful!

Following is an approximate breakdown of the costs involved in building a 1,000-square-foot house in our area. – Initial Assessment and Research: $400 – Design Fees: $5,880 – Construction Documents: $5,400 – Engineering: $4,500 – City Fees: $5,620 – Survey: $2,300 – Construction Administration: $3,400 Total Design and Permit Costs: $27,500 – – – – – – – – – – –

5 “Can spending a ton of money still give me a good return on investment?” Absolutely, the financial return is often there but the real return is rarely the cash you collect. A creative space, family room, home office, guest room or anything that increases the value you and your family get out of your home can make the investment well worth it. For example, clients may spend $200,000 building a guest house that increases their mortgage payment by $1,200 per month. They can offer that home to a child or parent who would be living somewhere else for many times the cost of the guest house. Other people may use this as a home office and create a new business from home. Some people choose to downsize and move into their accessory dwelling while renting out their main house, bringing in even more rental income. Or by creating a second unit for your child or your parents, you can avoid paying for the expenses of living separately such as rent to live elsewhere, maintenance, the taxes of owning two homes, or the high costs of assisted living. So when considering building a home: 1. Get solid data on pricing and don't rely on old "rules of thumb." 2. Recognize that both "simple" and "prefab" homes often have the same requirements as larger custom homes. 3. Think about building your own home—it may take awhile but it can truly be a labor of love. 4. Know the real return on your custom project is rarely cash but a beautiful place you can enjoy for years and call “home.”

NEVER IN MY WILDEST DREAMS DID I THINK ABOUT GOING INTO THE GARBAGE BUSINESS, BUT THAT’S PARTLY BECAUSE I DIDN’T KNOW IT COULD BE SO MUCH FUN!

”

Meet a Member: Patty Garbarino of Marin Sanitary Service Patty Garbarino never thought she’d end up talking trash for a living. But when her father needed help running Marin Sanitary Service, she decided to pitch in.

President of Marin Sanitary Service, Patty Garbarino began her career in the waste industry 30 years ago when her father, Joe Garbarino, recycling pioneer, needed help with his paper work due to increased regulations for waste hauling. "Never in my wildest dreams did I think about going into the garbage business, but that's partly because I didn't realize it would be so much fun." Garbarino enjoys working in the waste business because it helps her connect with her local community and she appreciates working with the dedicated men and women of her company. Always the innovator, Ms. Garbarino has been working hard identifying the next steps in waste reduction and resource conservation. This includes transitioning Marin Sanitary Service from a Garbage Company to a Resource Hauler. The company motto, Conservation Our Earth Our Mission Our Job, has guided the company to implement recent innovative programs like Food Scraps 2 Energy (F2E), Commercial Composting, and Residential Curbside Clean-ups. Patty's passion and advocacy does not stop in the office. She works tirelessly to support forward-thinking legislation that protects the environment and helps the waste industry do the right thing. New legislation being implemented now aims to keep organic waste out of the landfills. In fact, many large businesses are now required to divert their organic material under the law, AB1826. Items like yard debris, food scraps, and plant trimmings should never go into your landfill bin. In the landfill, these organic materials slowly break down and release methane, a very potent greenhouse gas. Subscribing to one of the MSS organic programs is an easy way to keep these resources out of the landfill and the best solution to help slow climate change. MSS has implemented programs to help reduce organic waste at home, work, and even on the job site. At home, make sure to always place all of your food scraps, yard debris, and food soiled paper in the green cart. When you’re at work, ask your office manager if your building has compost. If they don’t, have them contact MSS to set up services. And don’t forget to make any construction and demo project as green as possible. Call MSS to get a quote on source separated boxes for green waste, lumber, and dirt.
