    Shutters

    I agree. We had Window Decorators do our shutters and roller shades too. Love the quality of both. I wish i didn't have to wait 10 weeks for mine though, but it's worth it. Best $$$ spent.

    Nest Thermostat

    I totally understand. I guess ours is simpler and that's why Nest works better for me. If it's hot or warm outside, even with a breeze, I generally don't open any windows/doors. During fall/winter when it's cool outside, our windows/doors are always open. I just have to program the Nest 2 ways...

    Sticker SHOCK after 1st Design Center Visit

    Alarm system - If you can get prewiring for a decent amount, I suggest getting it through the builder. If it's too much and unreasonable like ours, just go wireless after COE. I wanted prewire but it was just too much. We have Cox Home Security now and I'm very happy with it. Rain Shower - I...

    Nest Thermostat

    Not at night nor wee hours of the morning. It kicks on during the afternoon when it's hot.

    Nest Thermostat

    Yes that is true. Nest kicks on when it's supposed to, Honeywell does not. GH's argument is that with Nest, it learns you, but with Honeywell, you tell it what to do. He insists that's the difference. My point is, I tell the Nest what to do, program it once, and that's it. Ask GH how many times...

    Nest Thermostat

    Here's my 2 cents regarding Nest vs. Honeywell. When we had the Honeywell, GH kept looking at the unit, adjusting the temperature every time I complain about the house being stuffy. And then later on I'd complain about the house being too cold. He got frustrated and couldn't get the...

    Porcelain Tile on Outdoor Patio?

    I also want to do this, but also got the response "no, because it will be too slippery". We have a dark color wood looking tile and the only reason i'm not pushing for this is because of water spots that I see between the sink and stove. It's so visible, and when it dries it leaves a mark. I can...

    Home security system

    I did ask one of their guys. They said before they rolled out Cox Home security to the public, they offered the system/service internally to Cox employees and relatives and tested it for 2 years before they offered to general public. Equipment definitely costs less. With our builder option...

    Irvine Builders: Good or Bad?

    I totally agree. Since everything is subcontracted, can't really blame it all on the builder. It's sad how KB got its bad rep. Our experience with them has been really good. Despite all the negative reviews, we took a chance with them. We watched every step of the construction process with...

    Home security system

    We recently went with Cox for our new home. I was hesitant to go with them at first given they are a cable company, and I've always wanted hardwired but the builder option is just ridiculously expensive it didn't make sense. GH is not comfortable with DIY so Frontpoint was out of the question...

    Moving Disaster - Need Advice Pls

    I saw the damage to the fridge way after they left. GH was at the old house when they soiled the carpet so I did not see that either until the weekend when we went back to grab the leftover stuff. I was there when the water on the washer leaked upon disconnecting the hoses, and they said it's...

    Moving Disaster - Need Advice Pls

    I do have photos of the carpet and fridge. 1 truck 4 movers, same as IHO $115/hr. Most likely same company? GH got the recommendation from here. He also does not want to file a complaint nor let the moving company know, hence why I started this thread. I thought it's only fair to let the moving...

    Moving Disaster - Need Advice Pls

    We finally moved to our new home and I'd like to share our experience, plus also seek some advice. Our whole move lasted more than 9 hours, with 2 trips. Not sure if this is the normal time? We did not really finish moving everything and had to make about 4 more extra trips over the weekend...
