Price wise, in general,  grass<<concrete<<pavers<stone.

I used to own an old house in Irvine with a "larger" lot, so plenty of grass there.  As for the new house, there will not be a lawn.  One positive side is that I won't have to hire a gardner for weekly service.

I have seen older homes that didn't even have the pan under the washer.  Even when they have the pan, there is no drain attached to the pan.  Maybe the building code changed since all the newer homes have the drain.  I paid attention to this detail while I was house shopping because my old...

The drain is at about 2 inches in diameter.  That's a big drain that should take care of a lot of water.  If the lint is trapped there, I guess it's a different story.  However, I don't think you would normally have too much lint right under the washer where the drain is. I do agree in changing...

The washer sits on a washer tray which has a drain that connects to the house drain.  This was true on all 2010 collection houses that I looked at. http://www.lowes.com/pd_220820-131-1781_0__?productId=1166753&Ntt=washer+tray&pl=1&currentURL=%2Fpl__0__s%3FNtt%3Dwasher%2Btray

4 of the top 10 are magnet schools.  It's not really a straight up comparison since they don't have the "dumb" kids to bring the average down.  If you let only the kids with high scores attend a school, of course that school is going to have a high score. 

Upstairs. I want them where the bedrooms are.  I usually don't change my clothes in the kitchen or the living room.

Exactly, when ALL of IUSD's schools do well, that does speak volume.  Most other district are a mixed bag. I have been saying that the quality of Irvine schools are exaggerated.  This article is making me think maybe it's not so exaggerated after all.

I totally agree.  The city of Tustin really messed up when they approved the District.  The city had no idea what they were approving.

I am afraid that it will turn out just like the novel "Animal Farm".  Ex-dictator steps aside and the military takes over.  Just sounds too familiar. I would not be too surprised if it turns out to be a new dictatorship taking over an old dictataorshitp.  Hopefully I am wrong and the Egyptians...

Most of them are vented outside.  Actually, you would use same venting ducts as a normal hood would use since they are the same size.  If you would choose to recirculate it, then you would need to wash the grease filter and replace the charcoal filter frequently.  Still, a lot of smell and...

That gives your girlfriend/boyfriend an escape route when the wife/husband comes home early.  ;)

My coworker takes toll road from Anaheim Hills to go there. When I tell him that I live in Irvine but have never been there because I hate DJ parking, he is just shocked. Maybe I should check it out and find out what all the fuss is about. But, then I have other coworkers who tell me it's no...

The true jumbo loan starts at $729K for Orange County.  Amount between $417K and $729K usually will have a rate 1/8 to 1/4 % higher than loans below $417K

If you live right next to Asian gang bangers, you better make sure that they know you don't have any cash or valuables in the house.  A big portion of home invasion robberies are done by Asian gangs, especially when the victims are Asians.

6. Yorba Linda is much hotter during Summer.  7. Many parts of Yorba Linda gets very windy in the afternoon. 8. Most of Yorba Linda is in the fire hazard zone. 9. Yorba Linda has 91-only-access.  I know it was mentioned already, but it should count double since 91 is always a mess. 10. Yorba...

As it's been discussed numerous times on this thread, the downward pressure on price will not be proportional to the payment hike based on 20% down.  There are way too many buyers putting down 50%+, including Full cash buyers.  It's unfortunate for younger buyers who have not had time to save...

If you are happy with Cox, call Cox and tell them you are getting great offers from ATT and you want to switch. Cox will give you a discount.  Then, you can compare the discounts and make the decision.

I sent mine in end of October, and got the official letter today.  I did send in the reservation papaerwork back in June, so that may have helped.

Comparing a Military base and a gas station for toxic ground is like comparing an ocean to a pond.  Military uses chemicals that are way beyond refined gasoline.  Also Military buried their crap, at least until recent environmental policy changes.  Gas station may have storage tank leaks or...
