    Bedwetting in older kids

    I am not sure of bedwetting alarms, but below are few best practices that worked for us: a. Let the kids go to bathroom just before they go to sleep b.

    Hindsight Bubble Regrets

    Hindsight is always 20:20. For us, we fell out of escrow (seller did not agree to change $10K windows) from South County SFR in 2006 - now its $150K less. So, thats good. Now, Interest rates are making the houses a little affordable, not the prices. Back then, both (prices and rates) were...

    99 Shadywood Revisited

    What is %variance between list price and sold price in Irvine, recently? Looks like this one listed at $819K (max) and sold at $800K - that's ~2.5%. With this, buyers should have felt satisfied at some level, but in (fundamental  ::)) reality they could have been much more satisfied.

    Where can I find homes with vaulted/cathedral ceilings in Irvine?

    Other cities have many vaulted ceiling SFRs - viz., Anaheim hills, RSM, Aliso Viejo and thats built after 1999 too. I am not sure if TIC has pre-set rules for builders to maximise the sqft per lot, hence most newer construction has no vaulted ceilings. Homes with vaulted ceiling spells...

    Roof Leak

    Where can I find homes with vaulted/cathedral ceilings in Irvine?

    Oh, no. I am disappointed!  :'( On the other hand Irvine could get more congested with all the new communities and stucco's. Back to the point in discussion, I love cathedral ceilings too.

    Tustin Ranch (ofcourse!) and Aliso Viejo comes to my mind...Not far from freeways and with similar amenities as Irvine.
