    Baker Ranch in Lake Forest / Foothill Ranch

    It appears SDP 3-13-3198 was approved on 7/29 at the staff level (didn't need to go through full planning commission) so the documents are only available at the Lake Forest Development Services Department.  Ron Santos is the planner for it.  When I just spoke to him he was very open to walking...

    Saratoga Upgrades

    @songkou, you might want to give Eric at Summit Floors a call (714-624-9998) if you want to check on price competitiveness.  His crew a great job on my floors back in '09.  The flooring I used was not as nice as yours since I knew my dog will naturally distress them quickly.  It came out to...

    The Ramen Burger comes to the US

    I don't have a recipe but from what I've seen on Youtube there are a couple of ways to make the bun.  1.  This person puts the cooked noodles directly into a custom circular cast iron pan.  He then puts a weight on top to compress it.  To do it at home I think you will just need some type of...

    Install Exterior Gas Valve?

    Check out this video on Ask This Old House (scene 4).  Yours should be much easier since the gas pipe already exists.

    Brookfield Homes in Foothill Ranch

    Yeah, this one seems very controversial compared to others.  I would assume the previous property owner and/or the city tried to get another dealership or retailers to be located here with no luck (how long has the old Mervyn's been empty?  Looks like it's finally being remodeled now).  I'm...

    Brookfield Homes in Foothill Ranch

    Yeah, I wonder how much lower these will be priced compared to the equivalent Baker Ranch condos.  I'm sure someone will buy them for the the right price.  Parking will be a nightmare when it's full occupied.  At least none of the overflow would impact any other communities since it's completely...
