Fall is Open Studios time every October throughout San Luis Obispo County. For the visual arts lovers, it is a chance to seek out the work of artists from Paso to Nipomo and along the Coast, North to Cambria. Artists open their homes or studios and most are on site to display and discuss their work. All mediums of painting seem to be represented plus metal work, pottery, jewelry, woodworking/turning, sculpture, glasswork, weaving/wearable art…..you name it……….even surfboard art! This FREE event is open to all again this coming weekend 10/18 and 10/19 from 10 am to 5 pm. For more information and a full schedule go to www.artsobispo.org/open-studios.

Limoncello in Paso!
Red Soles Winery out off Highway 46 West on Oakdale Road is a beautiful little winery with warm and inviting owners and staff. Maybe it is because their motto is ‘living the dream’ but the atmosphere brings out the best in everyone as it always feels more like visiting a home than a business. Love their wines for sure…..my favorite summer white is ‘Heart and Sole’ and I LOVE that they are always cleverly thinking up fun names for their wines. Now they have started some yummy (potent!) distilled beverages like California Hooch and soon to arrive Temptation Limoncello – sipping this one will really going bring memories of a trip to Tuscany! www.resoleswinery.com

Cambria-CCSD Retrofit Upon Resale of Residential Property
At the time of change of ownership, all residential properties require low water-use plumbing fixtures. The new owner has 30 days after close of escrow to show compliance.
The latest change in Cambria is for toilets to have a maximum of 1.28 gallons per flush – down from the previously required 1.6 gallons. In addition- kitchen faucet aerators are to have a maximum flow of 1.8 gallons per minute, down from 2.0.
These new changes were adopted August 28th of 2012 when SLO County adopted Title 19, which included water conserving measures of the 2010 California Green Building Standards Code (CAL Green). As of Monday, October 22, 2012, these new requirements will be enforced.
There is also a mandatory pre- inspection fee of $99.50 for the inspection of the current water conservation fixture of the structure. These changes are in line with Cambria’s goal to better track the water retrofitting that is being done and to build up retrofit credits.
