How to Recycle Your Old Toilet, originally uploaded on by LubaSF

It’s Photo Friday again here on Luba’s San Francisco Real Estate Blog! 

I’ve got another work weekend ahead of me, selling consulations, showing buyers properties and generally catching up from this past week’s worth of work.  But since I love what I do for a living, it’s a little easier to swallow.

This week’s photo was shot by yours truly – and it’s the best use I’ve seen for an old toilet yet!  Love the ingenuity of SF residents!

Don’t forget to check back next week for another glimpse of San Francisco as seen through the eyes of Flickr’s photogs.

Wet Dogs, originally uploaded on by LubaSF  

It’s Photo Friday again here on Luba’s San Francisco Real Estate Blog! 

The week has been crazy because it seems that the San Francisco real estate market is picking up steam!  But somewhere between writing offers and preparing listings for the market, I managed to stop by the beach and catch a glimpse of the Doggie Diner heads.  Unfortunately, they were there as part of the memorial service for the artist Tom Kennedy that recently drowned at Ocean Beach.  He was extremely talented and I know he’ll be missed.

I’m not sure which pier this is, but I’m guessing Pier 7?  It’s just another of those random little glimpses of the City that make me fall in love with it over and over again.  Whether I’m seeing the City through my eyes, or through someone elses, I know I’ll never love another City more than I love San Francisco.

Carriage Entrance of the Palace Hotel, originally uploaded on by Bennet Hall

It’s Photo Friday again here on Luba’s San Francisco Real Estate Blog! 

This photo is sort of a early-days shot of valet service.  According to SF Images “the Carriage Entrance of the Palace Hotel was used for grand entrances upon its opening in 1876. The area was renovated to become a restaurant due to guests’ complaints over the smell of manure.”

I’ve had bad valet service before, but never did the valets smell like manure.

This week’s photo was brought to you by Bennet Hall but if you love the image, or a variety of other historical SF Images, you can get them yourself, in a variety of sizes, to hang on your very own wall.   

Don’t forget to check back next week for another glimpse of San Francisco.

Space Invaders, originally uploaded on by LubaSF 

It’s Photo Friday again here on Luba’s San Francisco Real Estate Blog! 

I spent two weeks on a pseudo-vacation in Lake County, CA.  The photo above, though, has nothing to do it – it just makes me smile.    (Check out www.sfcameraphone.com to see a few of the silly photos I shot with my cameraphone while I WAS on vacation.)  I say “pseudo-vacation” because I still worked just about every day, including driving back to the City for a day to take care of a client in the midst of a real estate transaction.  It was inspection day, and I HATE to miss inspection day!  Yes, I am that dedicated. 

This weekend, I’ll be being just as dedicated.  As usual, I’ll be working.  Though, there’s a good chance I’ll be spending a night out on the town with some girldfriends on Saturday night.  If you happen to see us out and about in the City, don’t be afraid to say “hi.”
