    Micro manage him...I tried to not be the owner that harassed him on every little detail, and ended up having to have them redo the pavers.  Basically his day laborers aka the Mexicans make bad judgement calls, and did some extremely shotty work.  There were a lot of little mistakes his crew made...

    Backyard Landscape Plans and Recommendations

    Landscapers are only as good as their day laborers.  If your guy isn't managing your project because he's got a different project that's paying him more...you have to make sure you micro manage those day laborers because you let them make their own decisions you come out with some bad stuff. I...

    Toxic Marine Base in Irvine

    I rather die a landfill death versus being robbed, raped, and/or killed in Anacrime, Santa Ana, Stanton, or any other of the high crime rate OC cities.

    Saratoga vs roundtree/springhouse

    What I think he meant to say was Saratoga is a detached "condo" and the fees are still $110. I have been obviously shopping the wrong homes in Woodbury.  I'll give time for SG to mature, but from the looks of it, the landscaping isn't going to be as appealing as Woodbury or other neighborhoods.

    Saratoga vs roundtree/springhouse

    Just need to make one plaza with a Din Tai Fung, Sam Woo, and a 99 Ranch Market and the rest will fall into place.

    Saratoga vs roundtree/springhouse

    Being in SG I agree that curb appeal wasn't and still isn't a top priority.  If it was, I definitely wouldn't have picked this neighborhood.    Just my two cents since people were griping about it, and I can understand where they are coming from about it.  I wouldn't pay $200 more in HOA fees...

    Saratoga vs roundtree/springhouse

    Part of the problem with Stonegate is they got cheap on the landscaping for the common areas too.  With obviously lower HOA's then the likes of Woodbury, they went with a very monotonous pattern of plants which add to the dullness of the neighborhood.

    At Palmeras when I was staying there they included the monitoring.  It notified their security company and not the police.

    Stonegate San Mateo III

    I got an email that they are already selling the model homes...so looks like San Mateo is done being the defacto home of Stonegate.

    Wolf in Irvine?

    IP just carved up a lot of their land for homes...it's only natural they going to spill into the neighborhoods looking for little dogs and cats.  Happened when I was living in West Irvine about 5 years ago. Craziest siting...Irvine Marketplace parking lot as I was going to the ATM around 1AM. ...

    Saratoga's Electric Ovens

    None of the options are gas stoves for Saratoga.  Even the Kitchen Aid free standing upgrade which was the highest upgrade comes with an electric convection oven.  From my understanding of ovens, electric is suppose to manage temperature better than the gas ovens which is probably why they did...
