    Audiophiles - Speakers in Great Room

    I bought the Klipsch Reference RW-12D subwoofer off newegg when they were offering them for $279.99.  Seems to work fine.  What kind of subwoofer did you get?

    Audiophiles - Speakers in Great Room

    Holy CRAP.... I have almost the EXACT same set up.  I have Definitive Tech RCS II's in the front and RSS III's in the back.  I'm not an audiophile, so I'm not sure if that's a good setup.  I bought this combination based off the recommendation of a friend.  How do you like yours?

    Refilling Propane Tank in Irvine

    I've never actually refilled any propane tank in Irvine....  I've only had propane tank EXCHANGES, where you bring in your old tank, pay a fee, in exchange you get the privilege of swapping your empty tank with a full one. I know home depot on Woodbury plaza offers this service, but I don't...

    Garage Cabinets and Storage

    Good point.  For those of you considering the IKEA pax system, they come in two different depths.  I opted for the shallower depth for this exact reason.

    Garage Cabinets and Storage

    I installed them myself, it took about 4 hours with two people. -- I've put together a lot of IKEA furniture in my days, and this definitely top them as one of the most difficult (The glass door was difficult to frame around, was heavy, and was delicate to handle). --  Since this is my 1st time...

    Garage Cabinets and Storage

    I could not use the wall attachment kit that came with the IKEA package because of the stemwalls (curb) within the garage preventing them from sitting flush against the wall. In order to address that problem, I installed some $1.50 Home Depot Shelf Brackets on the top...

    Garage Cabinets and Storage

    I installed the PAX closet from IKEA with the sliding doors, and it works great.  The sliding doors works better for our situation, as it allows access to the contents while the cars are still parked.  (See Attached)

    Garage Epoxy

    Similar to most of you, I considered the Home Depot/Lowes DIY options.  However, upon inspecting the garage floors of my friends who have done this themselves, it immediately became clear to me that the quality of the products at Home Depot and the one's used by the professionals are completely...

    Adding Wireless Keyless Garage Entry

    I don't think my Genie brand garage door opener is that smart....  :(

    Adding Wireless Keyless Garage Entry

    Lucky, We encountered the same issue, but soon realized that IrvineRealtor was correct.  After you enter the correct code, the entire transponder will remain "active" for a couple of seconds, allowing you the ability to press any button (for us, any button on the num-pad will work) to engage...

    Saratoga Upgrades

    WOW.... another rebate.... I think I qualify for this one.  In fact, I found my builder installed dishwasher on that list as well, so I applied for that rebate as well.  I just e-mailed them a copy of my design center options list in lieu of a receipt.

    Recirculation pump systems w/ Tankless Water Heaters

    pure speculation, but you get to WASTE more water more quickly, so it allows the cold water in the pipes to be cleared out quicker....????

    Saratoga Upgrades

    Hi Penguin, Thanks for the info.  I was already aware of this rebate, but the rebate form clearly states, in bold letters up on top, that new construction homes does not qualify.  I'm not sure if I can make a convincing argument that since I did not buy the fridge from the builder, the...

    Saratoga Upgrades

    I'm not an expert on this, but the fine print on the So Cal Watersmart website (http://www.socalwatersmart.com/index.php/home/?p=res) does not specify how long you have to apply your rebate.  The only requirement is that you submit your "supporting documents" within 60 days of applying for the...
