Lol, I think most ppl would prefer more indoor space, but really depends on how many toys you have that need storage.  I don't have a lot of stuff that needs garage storage and most things can be places in the storage rack from the ceiling I installed.

I don't think mid to high 5 figures is that much for teachers.  I want competitive salaries for teachers cuz I want ppl to go into that field and not be dissuaded by low salaries.  Plus, this is the OC, $100k before taxes doesn't go very far.

This.  It's such a pain to do renovations after you move in.  Flooring, paint, trim, etc is easy to do after COE, you just have to set up the subs before and do it right after you get keys.  I'm on the fence with flooring.  If it's a substantial savings, say over 15%, then it's worthwhile to...

You're right, not true 9800 cuz of the slope but still huge.  But that lot premium is $100k vs the phase before.  The reversal is actually better for that lot cuz you enter the house from the side with the bigger side yard.  That side yard becomes continuous with the back yard, so if you're...

The percentage probably goes up as the base cost of the house goes up.  5% might be correct for a $500k home, closer to 15-20% for a $2MM home.  Buyers are less likely to do things after COE for hi end homes.

There are way too many variables to answer this question based on your limited choices.  In general, 10-15% of base price of the house for upgrades.  Landscaping really depends on personal preference and how much you'll use your yard.  It could be super cheap ass with just concrete or...

I think TV placement is a non-issue.  Maybe cuz I don't watch TV that often.  And glare can be easily fixed with curtains.

I think Saviero made a bad decision by pre-plotting the first 3 phases.  This eliminated the option to convert the tandem garage area to another usable interior space.  Most buyers would of probably optioned out that tandem space to something else if given the choice. I likes plan 2 and 4 the...

I would still say he has virtually no shot at the NBA.  Jeremy Lin is 6'3" and was 1st team all state and NorCal DII player of the year and got zero scholarship offers.  Even with all his publicity now, he's just an average point guard in the NBA. I hope this kid has a backup plan and takes...

It's a no-brainer must buy from the builder if you're getting a significant discount because the 30% tax credit is for the RETAIL cost of the system and is exempt from property tax.  For example, if the retail cost of a system is $15,000 and the builder is charging you $9000, then your out of...

I'm not bashing because he's a kid of a wealthy FCB, it's because he's 5'10".  He better have a growth spurt and hope he gets to over 6', preferably over 6'2".  Size matters in the NBA.  Chris Paul is only 6' but he's a special talent.  If he was a 6'2" 14 y/o, then I would take the story more...

Welcome to TI.  It seems like you really want that lot.  I say do it. :)

Huh?  What kind of painter doesn't take off the electrical outlet cover or use tape?  They must have some rock steady hands.

This story is so ridiculous on so many levels.  I would almost understand if they wanted him to further his education and become a doctor and hope for residency status for a U.C.  But to play in the NBA as a 5'10" 14 y/o?!  That's just dumb.  All that parent money and almost a 100% chance of...

I feel bad for people that need a gluten free diet.  It's difficult to be stringent to that diet and really limiting in restaurant food choices.

We all have parents.  A senior affordable facility is welcome in my book. 

I agree.  The crank windows also are more limited for window treatments due to the crank handle sticking out. 

You should add egg shaped door knobs as those are popular also.  Finish depends on color and style of decor, but all things being equal, I prefer oil rubbed bronze in a lever, with egg a close second.

I'm familiar with taphunter.  Great app.  Not discounting Sculpin, it's just not that hard to find in draft or bottles.  I see it at First Class Pizza at Woodbury all the time.  But, when I'm looking at Tap lists, I like seeing more than the usual El Segundo, Ballast Point, Firestone Walker...
