    Shady Siam Station in Irvine

    Had a shady experience at Siam Station in Irvine.  First time there and never going back.  At the end of the meal, the waitress took my card and processed it.  Gave me back my card and my receipt, and indicated that the tip was already included.  To my surprise, she gave herself a 20% tip.  It's...

    25% capital gains tax from selling investment property

    This is incorrect.  I looked at my Final Settlement Statement when I sold my primary house.  They took the proceeds from the sale price, minus my principal balance (my loan) and realtor commissions and other escrow and title charges.  Nothing on the settlement statement showed the price of what...

    Cetara Orchard Hills The Groves Shea Homes

    La Vita has the lowest elevation and they look over apartments.  Cetara has higher elevation and a much nicer view.  Does that account for anything?

    Balcony add

    Do you I know if it?s better to get drawings approved by engineering firm and then hire contractor or just hire a contractor to get plans approved and build?  Just trying to add a balcony off the master bedroom.  Let me know if anyone has recommendations.

    Recommendations for movers

    A lot of Yelp reviews get positive comments.  But I?ve personally had hit or miss experience.  Would like to know movers who are very careful with wrapping and disassembling and reassembling furniture and not losing any parts.  The small stuff I can move myself but the furniture need extra care.

    Cetara Orchard Hills The Groves Shea Homes

    Do you think there will be standing inventory now that it?s interior lots? I don?t know if I agree with the $2m surrounded by neighbors comment.  Wasn?t Amelia and Lucca all back to back interior lots in the $2m+ price range?

    Cetara Orchard Hills The Groves Shea Homes

    Hey Martin, if buyers are not trying to buy the view lots in phase 5, why would they try for phase 6/7?  Aren?t those all interior lots and normal sized lots?  There will be a price increase later on also.

    Quarter rounds for hardwood floors

    Does that typically cost a lot more to do in terms of labor and baseboards?

    Quarter rounds for hardwood floors

    My understanding is that the quarter round is to hide the gap and allow for expansion because of the tongue and groove on the side of the hardwood. Isn?t it better just to rip out the baseboards, install the hardwood to the wall and then install new baseboard ontop of it so you don?t need...
