Same here! One CFD dropped off but other one just went up by a similar amount.

As a follow up to this, the HOA for my community just sent out a letter to all residents asking for pictures of everyone's garage (with address) showing either 2 cars parked in garage or 1 car parked in garage and other spot showing that it is not used for storage. They are giving everyone some...

It's interesting seeing my old posts and what I was thinking at the time! I ended up with a 2 car garage that also has space for a small workshop. The main selling point for me was convenience. Although I can drive my wife's car and she can drive mine, it is just easier to have 2 car side by...

What are some good hiking and running trails in Irvine? I like jogging and hiking but have mainly just run around my neighborhood. I been to Jeffrey Trail already and have checked out Letsgooutside.org but it seems like most of the hikes that they offer are mainly guided by someone and I would...

Have you looked at the Vine and Indigo in Portola Springs?

Anyone know what is going to be built next to the Anton apartments in PS3? Is this a Silverleaf, Indigo, or Legado extension. Right now, it is a raised dirt lot where construction materials are being stored. However, it looks like they are slowly developing the land.

Sorry for the thread hijack, but did anyone who moved into a new home during 2017 receive a homeowners property tax exemption form in the mail? I received one today (moved into a new home in June 2017) but do not think I qualify for the exemption since I was not occupying the property as of...

Is the school by the community park going to be a junior high? I'm assuming since there is already an elementary and high school but want to confirm.

Asked for a quote and stated that you referred me. Thank you

I plan to get my garage done with epoxy. I read a previous thread and it appears that most off the of the shelf stuff from home Depot and Lowe's is not the same quality as some used by professional installers. Plus, I don't want to take on this as a diy project. How much should I expect to pay...

I received my first quote yesterday for basswood shutters with 3.5 inch louvers. The main difference in pricing was whether or not I wanted the tilt bar that goes in the middle of the blinds. If I wanted the tilt bar, it was about $17.50 per square foot and about $19.50 without the tilt bar.  I...

I'm also in the market for shutters. Are OC Shutters and Golden West Shutters still the go to for shutters? I have little knowledge on shutters. I don't know what to look for and ask for as far as options on shutters and any information/help would be greatly appreciated. I know people in this...

I appreciate all the feedback. I think I may end up going with just laying down some low maintenance grass/sod. I did not see it in my CC&Rs but does anyone know how long (typically) we have to complete the landscaping before the HOA sends notices?

It's a small patch of dirt in relation to the total patio. Just want something I don't have to worry about.

I just moved in and have a gated patio in the front. The patio is about 20 feet long and 10 feet wide. About 1/6 of the patio is dirt. I want something low maintenance so I was just planning to put mulch over the dirt and call it a day. Is this something I can do and the HOA will be okay with...
