Haha.  Good point!

No we didn't rent.  We did not let them use our bathroom either since we're out whenever they are working.  I think they are using the builders' porta potty.

I'll give him another week.

No problem.  I am sharing this to everyone as a warning so you guys don't have to experience the same problem I am having.  Fortunately, the work isn't inside our home, otherwise, I would have gotten nuts in the first week. @bones - discount would be great. I'll keep that in mind.

I am beyond frustrated.  No work has been done on our landscaping this week.  I called Mahe 3x on different occasions and I still have not been able to talk to him.  He promised this job will be done in 3 weeks, it's now more than 1.5 months, oh my gawd.  To those even considering Mahe...

The home got sold at $778K, below asking price of $799K.  Seems a pretty good deal since current Plan 3 homes are being sold at $800K. MLS OC14009574.

They started digging on 2/26.  So it's been 4 weeks now..  Out of that 4 weeks, they worked only 9 days.

Yes, you are right.  I never got the impression that Mahe will walk away and rip me off.  My problem really is the same as yours.  I feel I have to micromanage every step of the way to make sure it is moving along.  I have no doubt that our landscaping will turn out great because of the...

No. To be honest, I am more concerned about him finishing the job, because I'm already 90% paid.

So Mahe's team resumed work yesterday.  I got to say, my frustration last week is overcome by my satisfaction of how beautiful our landscaping is turning out to be. I'll reserve any more judgement until he is done. 

Good idea.  I'll have to find out where our drain is. Update - our trap got a little mouse! It is so disgusting.  I wonder how many there are.  My speculation is true, they are entering from the gap of our garage door.  Irvine Pacific hasn't responded to my request to fix it :(

The lack of progress in our landscaping is definitely annoying me.  Is there anyone here who is CURRENTLY using Mahe Laivaa (Aloha Landscaping) as their contractor for landscaping?  How is it going?

I live on this street, and parking sucks. Not that you won't be able to find parking, because there's the garage.  It's just that - the cars on the street make this neighborhood look so cramped.  :( Anyway, I heard they released Marigold extension.  Does anyone have pricing?

Why didn't your friend let this contractor finish?  I am so curious because I think I hired the same contractor.

Who is this Samoan contractor?

Yes, we bought an ultrasonic sound and trap, and emailed irvine pacific to get the gaps on out garage door fixed. We went to home depot and found a selection of seals but they do not match our garage door color. We'll see if they fix it. I hope they would.

Yes, we live in Cypress Village at Marigold. I haven't talked to any of our neighbors yet. I wonder if they are having the same problems..

We will. Thanks for the tip! Also, we found a gap in our garage door. We will seal that gap as well. Whew!
