It is nice being able to walk all the way around my house and be on my property the whole time.

Whoops accidentally hit 'thank you' instead of 'quote'. I was going to say, I used to love Irvine too but moved not because of all the things 'frank69m' said.  I moved because I fell in love with south county due to the bedroom community feel that Irvine had 10-15 years ago when I originally...

I used AHS (American Home Shield) and have not had any major issues with their service.  They have replaced several major things in my house and the only real complaint is the first visit is to diagnose the problem and the service guy has to submit a report to get approval for the repair and...

Yep, that is the one!

I prefer brunettes and non-forgetter of guns.  I like the EoTech sight and magnifier on it.

That is just for the leak fix.  I have a really good drywall guy so I did not want the drywall repaired by him.  He actually used a third option.  It was not soldering and not a sharkbite.  It is similar to a sharkbite but is permanent and uses a compression tool to mold the piece to the pipe. ...

I actually prefer not to have a laser pointer.  To me, it is a tacticool item that has no true home defense value.  A laser is too easy to locate the source (you) and if your hand is trembling from the adrenaline, it will show very well on the dot.  In addition it will be very easy for the...

I feel so.  One thing a monitored alarm does for you is home invasion/panic and fire

Hahaha, I knew you were going to grab the Andretti reference and run with it.  :) As in life, almost anything can do more harm than good if not used or managed responsibly. Regarding statistics, there are statistics that bolster and counter both sides of the debate.  Although true, they (the...

I see your point and agree that most break-ins are not violent/kidnap/rape situations which is a really good thing.  Unfortunately those bad situations do happen even if rare and an offender planning to do actual harm probably already has a gun or other weapon to 'control' the situation if...

I would like to have a water softener but unfortunately the main water line comes into my house at the library/piano room and is far from anywhere I can tuck/hide a water softener machine without having to re-route the main line somewhere else.  :(

$130 - $95 for the service call and $35 for the parts.  I live down in South County close to Dana Point/Monarch Beach. I called another plumber just to price compare and they wanted $190

I am not a gun enthusiast (Not an NRA member and don't fit the profile you see on TV) but guns have many purposes: 1) Sport - My BIL competes in long range competition. 2) Collection and admiration - Some people collect coins, baseball cards, swords, cabbage patch kids.  Others collect guns for...

He does not have kids but I do agree he should have had a safe.  Now his guns are probably on the black market.  I have a safe for my stuff even before kids. 

hey what happened to big bang stick! i hit quote to make a joke and then it read "my weapon" :-( LOL, I decided that I should show a little more respect and call it a weapon since some people are really sensitive about guns in this day and age and may take it as being too 'jokey'.  I think my...

I had an alarm in Irvine at first only because the previous owner had an alarm and were still in contract and put it in the sale that the buyer had to take over the contract.  I got used to having it and then continued it (with a different company and equipment) once the contract expired.  I now...

Went with a pro.  They were in and out in 15 minutes and the work looks good.

I could do the clamp but I would consider that a very short term patch until a permanent solution is implemented.

ps9, please don't take this the wrong way but although your alarm system is better than no alarm system, it is not difficult to disable the unit.  Since this is an 'all in one' system where the keypad, brain, receiver and dialer are all in the keypad, it only requires an intruder to go to the...

So I have a pinhole leak in a pipe in my garage ceiling.  I cut away the drywall and have located the pipe and leak.  I was considering the following three options: 1) Get a plumber.  Since I exposed the pipe and located the issue, repair will be about $130 sweating (soldering) a new section of...
