i used these guys... http://www.yelp.com/biz/irvine-carpet-and-flooring-irvine but i can't recommend them.... the workers rushed it... I had to call them back to fix stuff they broke like the door frame where they were trying to rip out the old baseboards... they left the place a mess and they...

I did this for my san mateo plan 1... including tile in bathrooms and laundry for $7200.  I also saved the carpet remnants, bound the edges and put felt underneath for $400 for the rooms upstairs.

I'm not sure what it means to have zero lot lines... in all my paperwork we do have clearly defined property lines.  When I asked why is this zoned a condo vs a sfr.. they said a minimum of 5 feet to separate you from and your neighbors as well as the street is required.  My neighbor said that...

nope, they wanted 2 ft min away from the wall along the 3 sides.  to clarify they said i can have an herb garden... just not the whole buffer zone.

... to add to that i think the materials cost was $6/sq ft and $1.5/sq. ft for labor and then the rest the ground covering, the sprinklers and the plants (the plants were quite expensive actually).  Initially I tried to get away with no plant and no sprinklers leaving the unpaved area as just an...

500 sq + i'd estimate 100 sq ft unpaved... ~600 sq. ft. total.

For my san mateo home,  for about 500 sq.ft. of pavers,  irrigation, auto/timer sprinklers, electrical prep wiring for lighting and plants it cost us $5000. i left one side (4ft wide) unpaved, just ground covering... and the hoa wants 2 ft along the back and about half the length of the other...

Just an update, it was spacers that were improperly installed... took them a while to figure it out but it's fixed now.  (Luckily not a gas seal or  manufacturing defect.. but then again they were ready to replace the windows)

for all you new home buyers, have you heard a slight crackling noise from your windows?  i've had the house for 8 months now and i think the sounds started just last month... at first i thought it was the "settling" from the construction going on around me but now there's no more construction...

what am i missing here... the red line in the graph shows roughly $300/sq ft... but the red number in the upper right shows $336/sq. ft. which one is correct?

yes i did. just been too busy to check up on either sites... so far so good. i can go into detail about how quiet it is, no parking problems (even with all the people moving in) how nice my neighbor's are and how wonderful it has been in general... and that other than a plumbing problem that...

me calling him stupid goes back to when he couldn't subtract and was saying prices were down 20-30k for homes he linked which were down 9-18k... or what about when we were talking about the hs graduates to ivy league schools... and he didn't know what numbers to use to get a percentage of...

ok... thanks for the explanation... i thought he was trying to make fun of the Mormon religion or lifestyle somehow... there's no need to go there ihs... also, homeshopper, your writing style reminds me of this other old asian dude that used to post on the old ihb fourms... bkshpr... but i...

i gotta hear the explanation for #4.. what does that have to do with anything?

sure i was wrong.. i admit it.. nice of you to jump in after the horse has been beaten to death.. "And this survey...IHO wants to limit median income to potential homebuyers" what's wrong with that? it's his survey... he wants to see the income based on potential buyers... it's a survey...

i think that's the idea... mello roos is a bond and all mello roos (or the ones i pay) have a expiry date... whether they will go away when they are supposed to, only time will tell. agree.

not trying to argue here... and i'm not sure if i'm answering your question...  but i think this is their claim... 1% prop tax is good enough for maintenance... but not good enough to build new infrastructure (even at inflated prices).

wtf are you talking about...http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/moneymatters/a/When-Did-The-Great-Recession-End.htm do you know what the definition of a recession is?

Anyone but indie can correct me if I'm wrong here but they don't care about front end anymore.. I don't have any debt and was approved based on a single dti.

hoa is 110 for all detached stonegate... my home owners insurance is less than $50 a month.. but you are right, i missed that too, thanks. You may not be comfortable with that loan but i think 36% is also a very conservative DTI, how many,  or what percentage of your clients gets approved based...
