    Recommendation on Tile job in house

    Venetian recommended a guy...I think his name was Keith from Kohler tile.  When I googled that company nothing came up, so I was skeptical about the guy. I've decided to live with stock vinyl floors for now and move on to other parts of my house.

    Saratoga Upgrades

    I'm pretty sure with the demand of the floors, they price of materials went up.  Provenza is in a lot of the model homes and it is pretty highly desired.  That being said I was quoted $11 per sq ft for Provenza versus the Design Center was quoting me $15. Eric is a pretty easy going guy.  I'm...

    Saratoga Upgrades

    In fairness the minor issues that I brought up to IP was taken care of pretty quickly.  It's the major issues that IP will try to fight you on.  My neighbor had a floor joist that was incorrectly fastened and they tried to fight him every inch of the way that it wasn't a problem.  Finally they...

    They won't fix bad lightbulbs they give you...so you have to tell them you want them to inspect the electrical to make sure it's just the light bulb....they have to put in a new bulb to verify it's just a bulb.  I had like 4 bulbs replaced that way.

    Saratoga Upgrades

    To be fair to IP, cabinets and such are done through 3rd party contractors who are making so much money they aren't giving a shit.  I've seen the cabinet guy responsible for repairs almost everyday since I've moved in fixing issues around the neighborhood.  A tip...be nice to the trade guys who...

    COX v. UVERSE

    Nothing is on the free channels anymore except the finals.  Stanley Cup was on NBC Sports, NBA was on ESPN and TNT, MNF is on ESPN, and the Thursday night football games are on NFL network.  Angels/Dodgers are on Fox Sports...soooo free channels get you pretty much nothing. Amazon Prime...

    COX v. UVERSE

    I guess you don't really watch sports if you don't need TV.  Only reason I still have TV...i'll shrivel up and die without sports.

    COX v. UVERSE

    1st...Cell reception in Stonegate is miserable so hotspots are just not a smart choice for reliable internet.  I second SubSolar...Cox internet has better reliability and can maintain data transfer speeds way better than Uverse.  My mother has Uverse and her promises of 24megs only gets her 3...

    Is it safe to move into newly built house right after closing date?

    one of my neighbors didn't move in for 6 weeks.  I wonder if they were thinking the same thing

    Sound-proof/acoustic drape local supplier?

    If you're willing to spend the cash to sound proof.  Pull down that drywall and install some Roxul sound proofing insulation and use what they call resilience channels which help reduce noise vibrations in the walls.  All this stuff can be purchased at Home Depot.  But just a matter of if you're...

    How likely is the loan cannot close by the closing date?

    Buyer is responsible penalties for delays in closing escrow if he so chooses to go with his own lender and not the builder's preferred lender. If you go with the preferred lender, then the builder will cover any costs in delays.  They'll outline most of this stuff in your sales contract when...

    Awful Experience at Colibri, Portola Springs

    Got friends in Flushing so when I'm over on the east I am there anyways.  The 7 is definitely mad long...and mad crowded.  If you people were complaining about rude FCBs...hop on the 7 train during rush hour.  You'll be glad you're in Irvine.

    Awful Experience at Colibri, Portola Springs

    Joe's Shanghai is the Din Tai Fung of NYC.  Overrated and overrun with white tourists.  Since it became popular with yelp and tourists they skimp on all quality.  I go to Flushing for my XLB now...staff is rude as hell, barely speak a lick of English but the food is still damn good.

    Installing Solar

    OK let me rephrase that.  IPAC keeps the rebate.  And that's the reason they told me.  Guess other builders are more generous

    It's definitely Sheriff in FR.  They harassed me at the Dennys....I was the only Asian there at 11 PM.  Last time I hung out with my white friends in FR...I make them come to Irvine now...safer for me.
