I paid around 3.00/sq ft. installed with, I think, 12mm laminate, which is not the cheapest, but not the best either.  26x14 is about 364 sq ft., you can do the math.  I wouldn't pay more than 5.00/sq ft installed for laminate.

More like driving a Lexus vs. a Toyota.  At the end of the day, you're still driving a Toyota, you just paid more for the Lexus.

Honestly, you'll get your appreciation as long as you're in Irvine.  Case in point, San Mateo resales are being listed at 850K+.  Several San Marcos resale have closed at over 900K.  That's already 30%+ appreciation in 2~3 years.  In this case, curb appeal and lot size truly doesn't matter to...

Now you've got me researching my ADT replacement.  I was originally going to just go with alarmrelay.com and reuse the ADT equipment, but the interactive monitoring service seems intriguing to me.  Looks like Protect America offers a lot of what Frontpoint has for half the price (19.99/month)...

Coffee Tomo is opening up next to Tea Station on Culver where It's A Grind used to be.  I saw a sign a couple of months ago saying it was going to be another Coffee Bar Byul, but just saw it changed to Coffee Tomo yesterday.  They have a store in LA on Sawtelle, and have awesome pretzels. ...

I have ADT and they didn't charge me for the equipment or for installation, but the monthly was about 45.00.  My main goal was basically to use them through the 2 year contract, so I can get the equipment and then switch to alarmrelay.com for $8.95.  I went this route because I didn't want to...

Had a good experience recently with Fred Alcaraz for A/C repair.  My tenant notified me that the A/C is not blowing cold air Friday at 5PM.  Called several places, no one picked up except for Fred.  He came by at 7:30PM on a Friday night and spent an hour and a half to replace a blown fuse to...

Read through the design guidelines, outdoor storage sheds are allowed in SFR, same guidelines as WTTCMN posted.  Not allowed in detached condos though.

I thought about building one of these when I have a long weekend: http://ana-white.com/2012/04/plans/small-cedar-fence-picket-storage-shed Plan to build it short enough that it won't be higher than the backyard walls, so it won't be too visible.  Only planning to need 3' x 4' of space, so it...

I didn't even turn off the breakers when I installed mine.  I used the square backer plate that came with it so I wouldn't have to do any drywall work.  I think it looks better with the plate than without anyway.  After installing the first one downstairs, the second upstairs went a lot faster. ...

I don't eat dinner at these restaurants a lot, but I seem to remember Samwoo, Capital and even China Garden are pretty pricey at dinner time.  $16~20.00 avg per dish seems to be about right for these places at dinner?

Free burger at the Counter if your kids says "My dad is a BFD."  BFD = Burger for Dad.  Yeah, I don't get it either.

I looked at my backyard and came to the realization that there is no where in the yard that is "away from the house"

Giant Cleaner behind the 99 Ranch on Culver has been good for me.  I used to go to Drive Thru Cleaners on Jeffrey and Irvine Center Drive until I realized that they were taking the spare buttons off my shirts.

YES!  Campus turns into 2 lanes after you pass Carlson going north.  People often queue up into two lanes to prepare to fight for the right lane as they cross Carlson, this in turn always blocks me from turning right.  I always wanted them to paint a right turn only lane at that intersection...

I see you mentioning this place a lot, but never realized what it is until I saw the name of the restaurant in Chinese on the picture of the drink cup you posted.  My parents love this place and bring their soup noodles to my place once in a while.  I guess we would be avoiding the place as well...

Used/refurbished Cisco DPC3010 8x4 DOCIS 3.0 modem, which is approved by Cox and for sale in their store, on Amazon is under 20.00.  I've bought one of these and they look like new, albeit without retail packaging...

I would vote for Jerry Sloan.  Defense wins championships.

Not sure.  But I've always used the cards right away, so never had issues.
