    Any A/Vphiles out there?

    Just looking for a 5.1, those sales guys were pushing for 4k, and other junk on the Denon receiver they were trying to sell me.  I think my setup will be a slightly above average set-up, so I don't need anything crazy.  You know any electricians by any chance?  I need them to mount speaker/tv...

    Any A/Vphiles out there?

    Hoping someone on the board is knowledgeable in home audio/video.  Went to the Costa Mesa Best Buy yesterday looking for a TV and receiver.  And boy, was it like a used car buying experience.  I'm in the market for a Panasonic 65vt50, the MSRP is around 3,600 and a receiver to power 2...

    Amber/Sorano at Blackstone

    I placed my earnest money in APR-12, back then the plan 2's were not selling as well as they are now.  I went to the community yesterday and talked to Linda/Ada about how they're selling; they told me they're receiving about 2 pre-quals a week for plan 2's.  I believe there might also be a...

    white granite ("fantastic white")

    We decided with a white/greyish granite called Bianco Romano...  we're going with a darker floor, Provenza African Plains Black River.  I think it goes well with all the stainless appliances.

    Definitely sign up with Martin, if you don't have a realtor.  He's a great guy and truly an asset to this board...

    Amber/Sorano at Blackstone

    oh btw...  if you could pony up the extra money, definitely buy in Amber and not Sorano...  Sorano's floor plans can't match that of Amber's.

    Amber/Sorano at Blackstone

    My finance and I bought a plan 2 at Amber.  I work at the Pacifica Towers in Irvine, and the drive really isn't that bad...  The Olinda landfills are scheduled to be shut down and converted into a state park in 2022 I believe.  I love the layout of Amber, great use of space and very open.  The...

    Hardwood Floors/Crown Moldings/Tile Work

    Martin - I actually checked out lumber liquidators...  They have a hand-scraped oak I really liked, and the color was perfect.  I did some research on google and their reviews are horrible...  Have you had any direct experience with these wholesale lumber type of places?  Also they contract out...

    Hardwood Floors/Crown Moldings/Tile Work

    I recently purchased a new construction in Brea, the builder (Shea Homes) is charging way too much for upgrades.  Any recommendations on who to use for doing upgrades such as hardwood floors, crown moldings, back-splash tile work? House is 2200 sq ft total size, and I plan on doing the entire...
