I was wondering if anyone knew of any good licensed contractors for doing recessed lighting (electricians), flooring, and installing bathroom cabinets. I figured I could trust this board.  :)  If you feel more comfortable sending me a private message, that's fine too.  Thanks!

You should ask for an invoice as a taxpayer.  With unions and wasteful spending of some administrative staff, very little of that money actually goes to students and teachers.  You'd be shocked.  I know I was.  In any event, Irvine would pick bettering the roads over helping the students any...

Is the OP working for The Irvine Company?  LOL. Positives: Breathing the aromatic plumes from the Great Park Living close to the biggest Landfill near Irvine The privilege of paying Mello Roos for a box that we call home Being so close to your neighbor that your remote control works on his TV...

Nah, that stuff is fine.  It smelled so strongly and pungently of curry--but extra strength and just combined with a very musty, old smell.  It was overwhelming and rushed through the house so I could get out.  I couldn't open the screen door because it was broken to see the yard and I figured I...

That's not really a fair comparison b/c 31 Entrada was a crap hole that reeked.  This one now on the market looks ok.  Market is stronger now, but price comparison isn't just the market.  I went to 31 Entrada and even if it was $450K--I wouldn't have bought it.  It was a train wreak.  It would...

TY.  I think we will keep our options open.  I prefer TR too. We can really only afford a condo at this point.  So, it would be an attached condo in SG v. one in TR.  I would even go so far as to say TR would be slightly smaller for the same money.  Overall, I think with the prices as high as...

I saw you today!  Wondering who'd be taking a picture of the table with a big grin on their face.  Guess it was you... 

I overheard one of the reps saying, "Oh, are you the agent?" and giving them a form.  So, I guess it is still available. I didn't stay till the end of that exchange.  I suppose, given their lack of CS, the rep could have pulled it away and said, "Psych".  :)

This post is not a joke.  No, actually I asked for a legitimate purpose and many of the ppl who posted made some great points. The reason I asked is because I noticed a lot of ppl have problems with their home at SG, how TIC is not helping but hindering during construction, shoddy construction...

Thank you! Got it. 

Does he have a website I can look at?  Or business phone number?

Are you guessing or do you know for sure?  Do you know some inside info?  Actually, when you say "priced out", it makes me think of real estate agents--they are always telling me that.  I still think it's crazy to buy a Cambria at that price.  I'd rather be priced out.  It's bad enough I can...

I want to prepare for buying a home eventually.  Just thought I would ask if anyone would recommend a good mortgage lender who is working for us, not for a real estate agent. I wanted to add honest to my list, but I thought that might be asking for too much.  :)  Kind of like asking for an...

I know this is Irvine but 600's for a Cambria Plan 2 is really insane.  The charm of a Cambria 2 was that it was in the mid 500's.  At that point, why not just buy a San Mateo-- unless those are no longer in the low 600s. I think they are having a harder time selling the homes right off...

Yes, I think I would rather have an old home too, but my spouse is set on a new home.  I was just wondering what was preferred and why. Maybe I was missing something.  After hearing about all the problems with the new homes, wondering if we should start looking at old homes again. I personally...
