I've spilled oil like 3 times already and cleaned it up from the little rain we had that got dirt tracked all in the garage.  Took a mop and cleaned it all up like nothing...sparkling like the day I got it epoxied.  Only thing I worry is if it does rain this winter it gets really slick and I...

they are gypsies.  Often use kids to try and garner more money.  They are a lot bolder when it comes to getting in your face for money.  The ones in Europe are extremely aggressive, NYC they aren't as aggressive but very annoying.  Guess it was only time they made their way out to Irvine?

I used this stuff http://www.thehybridfloors.com/res/home.html came out pretty good.  Little more than traditional laminate but I say it was worth it. They have samples of this stuff at the irvine pacific design center.  If you just walk in there and say you want to browse the floor samples...

So have TI folks compiled a list of trust worthy cleaning folks?  I'm feeling the need to bite the bullet and go in this market.

So how I rigged mine up was I just put a simple 8 port Gigabit switch inside the box and placed my router in a central location.  Tested everywhere in my house and I'm getting pretty good results except the master bathroom which is a little weak but still good enough to read the internet on the...

while yes you can, the box isn't good for reception if you plan on using your wireless router in there.  You'll most likely need a repeater somewhere else in the house.

I have to agree about the overall experience.  Took 2 weeks of bugging him to submit my plans, gave me some wrong trees.  At this point i didn't even care to have him fix the plants because I was just tired of his crew being at my place.  The worst part is now that I started testing patio...

wow...that's rough...and you liked your backyard.  I give him a 2 and I don't like the timeline or the work.

I wonder if the HOA approval person reads these forums and is laughing at all of us

IP was very adamant about not allowing inspectors.  I wonder if Steve would go along with saying he's just your friend who knows a lot about houses.

HAHA, glad I'm not the only one who noticed it.  I didn't want to pick on the guy since I was the one riding him about promoting Land Reform so hard.

Good luck...it's annoying that all these quality contractors are no longer reliable.  I hate putting my name out there for someone who's going to turn to crap.

They raised their pricing.  GoPavers quoted me $8.  I did like what they showed me but like you I wanted someone who can do it all. 

too slippery when wet...hazard for my kids...but it looks great.

I had a horrible experience with OnQ.  All my neighbors who used them said the same thing.  Bill Kelso is a smooth talker and a very personable and knowledgeable guy.  The rest of his staff are clueless.  The only positive out of the experience was that the delay of closing was OnQ's fault so...

you're pretty dead on about your feelings about Mahe.  If I were to go back and do this again, I'd go with Ken from Land Reform.  He was the only guy who drew up a plan and showed me them prior to even getting the job...just to show me his ideas.  He came in at a higher price, but after going...

Same thing...the carbon copy contract with his name.  All the checks are paid directly to Sam or Mahe.  Felt a little weird at first but he came through.  Issue from Aloha Landscaping...like Qwerty said grading.  They put too much slope towards the drain and it's pretty visible.  The drain is...

I see some people setup their home office in their garage, and they already got letters from the HOA saying they need to have room for 2 cars...and to make the room. Try to get a little air in your home office with the garage door open and get written up by the HOA.

That's the sad part.  All I had done are antique cobble pavers and my 2 feet along the wall that HOA requires.  But after initial debacle his crew made, we had to pull everything up and re-lay the pavers down.  Forgot putting the weed block under the pavers, I started in mid Oct, during...

my Garage Door isn't open log enough to discolor that badly?  Not sure why I'd ever need UV protection...unless that 10-15 minutes it's opened through out a day is going to do that much damage.
