I'd prefer morning sunlight in kitchen/family for breakfast hours (that means NW or NE facing front door). That does not mean that there should be no light the otherside of the house, it just means that you are mostly in the kitchen/breakfast nook during morning and can enjoy fresh rays of...

Front door facing - EAST or NORTH or NORTHEAST; everything else (like light, heat and others) will follow. There is a reason for it. Home Owner steps out of the home for a work that is beneficial for his/her family's present and future growth (it could be signing a big deal or for 9-5 work or...

hmm... ::)

I agree with +ves/-ves of both, but prefer downstairs - Less noise (wash/dry can be on while in bed), least destructive in case of leaks. Ofcourse I dont like carrying soiled clothes from Upstairs to Downstairs (<10 times a month), but hey - there is something you gotta give.

3. Yorba is earthquake pronezone (entire california is, but...) 4. Yorba has 91-only-access, Aliso has 405/5/73-access 5. Aliso has more Tech companies than Yorba, hence more job opportunities...

Not sure what you mean by "the deal is not done yet". Unless it is shortsale/foreclosure, offer is either accepted or not. Either way, anything that happens - happens for best!

Any ideas are appreciated!

I have a pine tree in my side yard above the A/C compressor, that is very large and "may" intercept roof or other structures of our home. Found this link, but not sure which one is proven to work!http://www.stretcher.com/stories/03/03apr21b.cfm Any proven ideas to trim or remove tree for cheap?

We did seriously contemplate to buy primrose plan#3, before we bought our home in tustin ranch. We liked the plan#3 and its space. Loft felt very nice. , but top 3 issues that we saw with Primrose are: a. No driveway (I drove by the night to "see" the parking - it was a zoo. Also there was "sale...

Sorry to hear about that. It was not meant to be. On the other hand, you must feel "released" and now have an opportunity to lookout for a better place. And remember - Everything that happens, happens for good!

We moved into 3-CWG last week-end and it seemed to accommodate anything you put in. Boy, it IS a wide garage!

I have moved about 30 pieces (toys, boxes, etc.,) past few days since we took possession, so that we keep it under 2 hours. Moving BIG ones are the focus for the move - I agree! Today, I plan to take all fragiles in my car. There is less of junk since I am moving from 1-car-detached-garage to...

Good point. I called my service provider to transfer services over, it is promised to be quick and hopefully it is.
