    New Apartments planned for Irvine Market Place

    Thanks. This 24 is so convenient since it's a 5 minute drive from home (whereas the one on Irvine Center Drive is about 15 minutes from home, and the one on Anton in Costa Mesa is about 20 minutes away). I'd consider switching gyms, but I like the fact I can go late at night, or early in the...

    Does anyone know if the 24 Hour is definitely closing, or if there are plans to relocate?

    Looking for Math and Writing Tutors for 3rd Grader

    Have you tried Aloha Mind Math (at the Woodbridge center)? The school offers classes in both math and writing. Our child does a math class once a week, and we've seen marked improvement since he started. We are considering enrolling him in the writing class so he can improve with his reading...

    Pebble Time (Smart Watch)

    I used the first generation Pebble Steel (black and white screen) with both an Android (Samsung Galaxy S5) and iOS (iPhone 6 and 6S), and I agree that it is more functional with Android than with iOS. For example, when you get a text while paired to an Android phone, you can set up a number of...

    Recommendations for Contractor to Install Ceiling Fans?

    Sorry for reviving this thread but wanted to give a quick update. I have been unable to get through to InstallMyLights (I keep getting their answering service) but all of the electricians that I have called have all advised that, since these fans are going into bedrooms on the 2nd floor, and...

    Recommendations for landscaping companies

    Yes, you're right that we've been incredibly lucky. I just wanted to let people know that, although we enjoyed working with Andru and KS Landscaping, it was not a perfect job, by any means. @PS2012, what did you swap your gardenias out to? We were going to check out Roger's Gardens for ideas...

    Recommendations for landscaping companies

    We used KS to do a small backyard job for us (they dug up and replaced some of the soil in an existing planter, removed some tree roots, and installed irrigation, some trees and gardenias in that planter). Andru was great to work with, easy to get in touch with, and their price was reasonable in...

    Recommendations for Contractor to Install Ceiling Fans?

    You know - I actually did not ask them about the ceiling and drywall, although I asked one of the other contractors that I called. I'll have to get back in touch with Install My Lights to inquire. Thank you all for the great responses. Looks like the wife and I have some ceiling fan shopping to do.

    Recommendations for Contractor to Install Ceiling Fans?

    Hi all, We are looking for any recommendations for a contractor to install ceiling fans in a few of our bedrooms. Our home is not pre-wired, and I have been quoted $250/room by a contractor that we have worked with before. I wanted to get a few more bids before we went ahead with the work, so...

    Refrigerator

    In my opinion - I would rather go out and buy my one refrigerator rather than getting it through Irvine Pacific (this is what my wife and I did when we bought an Irvine Pacific condo 4 years ago). We purchased an LG 21 cu. ft. counter-depth fridge from Best Buy for something like $1,200 or so.

    Smog check

    I just had my wife's car smog checked at "Jamboree Smog" on Edinger and Jamboree. It was $40 for the smog check + maybe $8 for the certificate. You also get a free express wash (a $5 value) for free. I checked out a few places, and they all seem to cost about $40-$50 (if you don't have a...

    Need a construction defect lawyer

    @ee11na, could you please further clarify what you need a CD lawyer for if the home builder is repairing the issues that you complained of? Whether the home builder admits that one of your home's components is defective seems irrelevant if the home builder actually repairs the things that you...
