    Hazardous Playground - Orchard Hills (Strada)

    I don't know if you all would agree, but these "metal crates" with sharp corners, acting as stairs seem like incredibly dangerous design for a children's playground.

    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific

    Moving the access point to the 2nd floor loft worked. I now have strong wifi in the downstairs bedroom. Most extenders can also act as an access point, which worked way better for me. The extender picks up wifi signal then passes it on.  So you have wifi router that is giving off around...

    Thanks. I'll give that a shot. Instead of extender, I've set it up as an access point in the great room via the cat5 outlet there, and still poor signal. Hopefully the loft works better. I have this one -...

    One note to all plan 2 buyers (just realized this today) Make sure to include internet access port in the first floor bedroom for plan 2. This port does not come standard and is an add-on option. I thought I wouldn't need it because of wifi access, but for some reason this first floor bedroom...

    Orchard Hills Community TUSD Side - Please Enroll Kids

    We are on the TUSD side. We selected this side specifically for the thoughts of having our kids being walking distance from their elementary and junior high.  If there's a pre-registration process that could help nudge things along somewhat, I think it would be ideal to pass that information...

    Orchard Hills Community TUSD Side - Please Enroll Kids

    My children are not of kindergarten age.  They will be in 2 years.  Should I "register" them somehow so TUSD knows that there are kids who need the school?

    Our next door neighbor has been continuously renovating since COE and haven't moved in.  I have no idea how much renovation they can be doing on a brand new house. It's been 2 months.

    Irvine Townhouses?

    I think in general your plan is sound and very generous. Although a good 3 br for under $500k will not be easy to come by.  It will be closer to $650k range. There are great three story town homes that's ideal for rental.  I would say zillow/Redfin are great places to start your research.  A...

    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific

    Two houses down from us 4-5 foreign students type moved into the plan 3 rental.  Also at $4800... But I have to say, other than having some unsightly stuff, they've been ok so far. What did bother me was yesterday two cars full of non-foreign kids (high school is my guess) sped to the end of...

    I have ATT and there are a couple dead spots in the house, but otherwise it's ok.  My wife's Verizon has similar performance.  We had people with TMobile and it's practically useless inside the house. There's talk of an additional cell tower being built across the street so that'll probably...

    Recommendation for plumber for RO system

    Well got the RO installed, but still can't figure out the fridge supply.  Confirmed the blue pex line is the fridge supply shutoff, but not too sure how to make that connection.

    Recommendation for plumber for RO system

    So I'm mapping out the lines under my sink and I think I got this.  But one question is does anyone know where a refrigerator ice maker supply line suppose to go? I recall our old RO system was hooked up to a supply line under the kitchen sink that's connected to the supply on the back wall of...
