Anyone have any good residential window tinting referrals? I have a glass conservatory that I'm trying to reduce the heat in and protect the furniture that's in there. Thanks!

Curious did they up-sell you to use micro-inverters? Or is there a specific shading issue that warrants the extra cost? The thing to keep in mind is that micro are installed with the units, so if anything goes wrong then someone is going up on the roof for repair, plus it's an extra unit per...

Curious if anyone did bamboo shades for their conservatory room, we have 12' foot ceilings. We have casings so wondering if we do inside to show it off or outside mount. I notice a lot of models mount all the way up to the ceiling so it makes the room look big. How about operating? I see...

Not over $400(yet). It was +~$60 and it includes a couple daily patrols. Really depends how many guards, for how long, and how wide an area plus if you want to also add any patrol cars/foot patrol to go around the neighborhood. Funny I think Keystone has a lock on all the HOAs in Irvine...

Curious, anyone attending their "dusty shoes" open house today, July 29th? Is the only difference is you get to actually tour the models? Is there anything really to see? Sounds like a "hard hat" tour and not too "kid friendly". Worth looking...

Anyone have opinions on the different brands? - Phantom - Clearview - Mirage - Stowaway https://www.screenmobile.com/Our-Products/Screen-Doors/Retractable-Screens Also what's the standard going rate for doing double french doors? How about a single french door, have some that lead to the...

Hi, looking for recs for an affordable electrician to install a 240v/NEMA 14-50 outlet in the garage for an EV. Right now kicking myself as could have done it via the builder for $300 but no longer an option :(. My neighbors have used the recommended EV installers but those cost up to $900 -...

Curious what's the current best deal out there for the PS area. I'm up for renewal with Cox and they jacked up the price after my promo expired. Right now I'm seeing (as of Oct 2016): Cox: Ultimate 300/30 for $100 (12mo) Premiere 150/10 for $88 (12mo) Preferred 50/5 for $78 (12mo) Essential...

Thanks. But seems only starting at 3y/o and after potty training. http://rschooloc.org/images/programs/Renascence_School_Advanced_Academics_Tri-lingual_Immersion_Program_OC.pdf

Thanks all for the comments. ALD seems pretty fun. Did a trial of their Parent and Me Little D and they seem to do a good job of trying to keep all the kids interested while teaching them. Right now, however, I'm looking for a full day program since my kid is still 2 and we both work. So it...

Curious if anyone has comments between the two programs? I know Le Port just recently opened their campus in West Park so it's brand new and ALD (a little dynasty) has been around a bit longer. Doing tours around various montessori schools (le port, great foundation, spectrum, northwood) I did...
