    Stonegate Vs. Pavilion Park

    I haven't had a chance to check out PP but I'll comment on SG living: Pros. 1.  It's a good distance from the 5 so it is pretty quiet for the most part.  2. Parks are nice especially the main one. Nice basketball courts and tesnnis courts and they are building a new one over by the Condo...

    Sausalito at Stonegate

    I was watching Million Dollar Listing, Los Angeles and saw this amazing house in Malibu with an awesome Ocean View for 2.3 Million.  Or I could get Sausalito Plan 3 after upgrades for a few hundred K less.  Put a little perspective of the inflating prices of Irvine.

    Privacy trees

    HOA has said a lot in its policy and changed it.  Where it was once approved they changed their minds and are no longer approving.  So it's possible you can get it approved, I'm just going based on what my neighbors have said.  If your landscaper has done a number of homes in the community they...

    Privacy trees

    I just looked that tree up and it grows up to 30ft.  Haha...that'll never fly.  From what I know from my landscaper and around the hood, HOA doesn't want your tree to grow more than a couple free above the wall line.  You might still be able to get these trees approved if the HOA approval...

    Privacy trees

    Dwarf fruit trees are allowed.  They don't grow more than 8-10ft.  If you're looking for something that'll grow 25ft, you'll never get that approved.  Or some neighbor will have you cut it down once it gets that high.  Something that big will have pretty invasive roots and could damage the...

    Pre-Dry Wall Inspection

    The worst part when I was trying to argue this, the sales staff said don't worry we have third party inspectors doing inspections.  So you know they won't let things go.  me:Oh really? Can I get a copy of the report?  sales: Oh well no, we don't provide that to the customer me: So how exactly...

    New builds - likes and dislikes?

    married with kids...shower is one of the very few "me" times you get.  Sometimes it's just nice to stay in there a little bit longer to gain some sanity back.

    Pre-Dry Wall Inspection

    I know we are all stressing to get that pre drywall inspection done, as I was the same way.  But IP gave me VERY little impression they would even do anything to rectify it. For example, although this was post drywall...they installed the wrong tile in my bathrooms.  Weeks went by they kept...

    Planting Setback 18", 24", or 36"?

    I personally am going with the bare minimum 24"...i don't want to invest that much money into the plants.  But 36" going multiple rows of plants would definitely look nicer.

    Pre-Dry Wall Inspection

    Timing is hard, they finished my insulation on a Tuesday, I wasn't allowed to see my house until after 4PM and they are gone by 6 on the dot.  Unless I kept taking time off to make sure I see parts of my house completed it was virtually impossible.  So I just visited my house while it's dark and...

    Pre-Dry Wall Inspection

    They do it between the floors, but if you're looking for sound insulation, R-19 does nothing.  All it's really good for is to help regulate temperature. If you want soundproofing you need something like Roxul.  You won't be able to get that through the builder. I snuck into my home during...

    Planting Setback 18", 24", or 36"?

    Stonegate is a minimum 24" setback.  I assume that's for a reason?

    Pergola Trellis Covering

    I was looking to install tinted plexi-glass on mine.  It will provide weather cover, and it's tinted to still allow light but block most of the UV and stuff out. Basically something like this but darker http://www.skyvuepatiocover.com/TrellisPanel/Pergola2058.jpg Last quote I got for a 14' x...

    Why you shouldn't buy a home in Irvine

    OK so somehow this morphed from Irvine not having good food to the food being not innovative.  If you guys were expecting Anthony Bordain to come to Irvine, don't hold your breath. My point was there is good food to eat in Irvine.  That is all.  I never said the next Le Bernadin was going to...
