    IHB Rice thread

    Funny... I do what SoCal does... I buy a huge bag of jasmine rice from 99 ranch and almost always make it with chicken stock (well with a Knox chicken bouillon cube mixed in which is as close to chicken stock as we get in our house). I make it plain with just salt, pepper and olive oil for a...

    Realtor Black and White Photo Trick on Newport Beach Listing

    It's hard to tell from the pictures but I don't hate it. I really will put up with a lot to not have to remodel though.

    $2 million dollar home in Oak Creek

    Right on the redfin page: "Saturday, May 30, 2009 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM (Source: MLS) Gate code: [deleted because I care more than the agent apparently]" Nice! If I were a neighbor I would not be happy about that.

    Frustration with Irvine inventory!

    North Tustin/Santa Ana

    Majority of the nice ones maybe. Actually the ones generally considered nice are brick. The worst is the brick/siding mix which is very very common. Especially brick in front and cheap siding on the sides and back of house. Ugh. In the DC area a lot of tiny little brick boxes like this one...

    How did you hear about IHB?

    I googled "terrible time to buy real estate" and found patrick.net and IHB a while back. It helped me articulate to my now husband why we shouldn't buy any of the houses we had been looking at...

    EARTHQUAKE!!!

    I did the same thing stepping but no one had posted yet. So I checked out the latest on usgs.gov... The 4.1 is an early number... they seem to be adjusted down pretty often.
