    Intersection cameras

    I went thru an intersection today and the light turned red.  As long as you?re within the intersection when light turns red, you?re ok.  That made me think and brought me back to driving 101. Where do your tires have to be when the light turns red to be ok?  Is it the front tire or the rear...

    Black license plates

    Has anyone ordered the black license plates? Is the $40 renewal fee on top of the regular fees every year? Do they mail the plates to you or do you have to go to dmv to pick up?

    Toll and surcharge on Uber

    Has anyone gotten a toll charge or surcharge with Uber when they didn?t take toll, or go to/from airport, or have some sort of parking fee? I took all local streets today within Irvine from Northwood to Diamond Jamboree area taking Culver and Alton and they automatically charged some toll...

    Can you get license plate at AAA?

    When I bought a car from a CA dealer, the dealer mailed my license plate directly to my home.  This is the first time I am buying a car from out of state.  Dealer says I have to pick up plate from local tag office.  They cannot mail it to me for some reason.  Why is that?  Can you pick up plates...

    USPS mailing options

    Based on your usps link, certified mail only shows proof of mailing AND proof of delivery.  No one actually signs for it.  The zlien link says that with certified mail, it requires the recipient?s signature.  I think that?s false.

    USPS mailing options

    Does someone actually sign with certified mail option, like the zlien link above says it does?  If so, isn?t that technically the same as signature confirmation?

    USPS mailing options

    So I?ve never really used mailing services.  They didn?t explain them that well. 1) regular certified mail 2) return receipt confirmation 3) signature confirmation The USPS associate explained that #1 only shows proof that it was mailed NOT proof that it was received.  Adding #2, you actually...

    Ziegler Doors Business practice

    There is a torsion spring on top.  But the door supposedly weighs 600-700 lbs.  A lot of neighbors that have lived in this community for 3-4 years are getting their Liftmaster replaced because they broke down.  The weight of the door even with the torsion springs is putting strain on the gears...

    Ziegler Doors Business practice

    We purchased a new home.  Got a Liftmaster 8550 installed through the builder, which is a nice belt unit.  However Ziegler Doors installed really heavy doors that most of these new Irvine homes use for the garage doors.  Apparently when our garage door didn?t open, the technician we called to...

    American National Insurance

    Has anyone heard of American National Insurance?  They are coming about $400 cheaper annually for home and auto compared to Mercury.  Mercury has increased their home insurance by 40% since 4 years ago (10% increase per year).  American National Insurance is recommending Uninsured motorist...

    Do NOT hire Jefferson Rand

    It would have been nice if they at least tied it.  They just folded it in multiple areas.  No caps or wires anywhere.

    Do NOT hire Jefferson Rand

    The way they did it was connect the drip line into the sprinkler pipe.  When the sprinklers turn on, the drip line will also have water flowing through the hose.  They didn?t add a pressure regulator, which is the right way to do it since the sprinkler water pressure and the drip line water...

    Do NOT hire Jefferson Rand

    Why would they use soaker hose?  Isn?t that just wasting water?  They still have small holes on the side.  Just the ends are open.  They pretty much just bent the end of the drip lines, and didn?t even bother tying them off.  No pressure regulators installed either.

    Do NOT hire Jefferson Rand

    We recently discovered all the drip lines Jefferson Rand installed for the ground cover, were done at a half ass job.  They did not add stoppers so basically it?s a hose running.  Dirt can get trapped inside.  They didn?t even bother tying the ends. I wonder why many other Mickey Mouse jobs...

    I'm not sure if they did anything.

    Do NOT hire Jefferson Rand

    Basically called them out on why sprinkler system was installed incorrectly in some parts of the lawn.  After pipes had issues and had to do some digging around. Had another house who used them.  They redid the driveway and accidentally cracked the garage slab in the process.

    Do NOT hire Jefferson Rand

    I wanted to let everyone know about our bad experience with Jefferson Rand.  Don?t do business with this company.  We paid them good money and found several areas that were exposed after the fact.  Julia Yi never returned my messages after pointing out the flaws.  Neighbors have issues with this...

    Netgear modem and router in one

    I recently tried to save money and buy a two in one modem and router.  I used to have a separate Arris Motorola modem and Nighthawk router. I have Cox service.  The amazon streaming and wireless connections have been intermittently slow. I?m getting a Speedtest of 30 Mbps downloads for wireless...
