    Portola Springs Neighborhood 5A

    Lasting impact? That's for damn sure. Traumatized? Hardly I for one was genuinely entertained.  But I digress we should def move forward with bated breath to the next version of this masterpiece (obviously I've obscured it because new beginnings (screen name) or not intellectual property is...

    Portola Springs Neighborhood 5A

    LOL I'm with OCLuvr on this one, but this is just one account that I think YF has used since his return.  But it's def his primary account.  My logic is that YF was a very prolific poster there's no way he would just withdraw completely.  Going back to the days when he was still called GladiaCMX...

    Portola Springs Neighborhood 5A

    They probably just shaved a couple feet off each wall and voila new floorplans.  We walked the Elderberry view lots last night but most of them were partially obstructed by the little hill in front or seemed to only have a view of PS2.  Definitely nothing like the views from the 17967 center...

    Question on HOA Having us Clean Out Garage to Park Cars that are on our driveway

    The trash day enforcement is so people in the neighborhood don't go down the slippery slope of leaving their trash bins out the whole year round.  I know my neighborhood had some idiots doing this for months due to laziness, idiocy, etc. and we all got the memo because the HOA was hoping to give...

    Question on HOA Having us Clean Out Garage to Park Cars that are on our driveway

    I'm not sure I follow the logic that parking your vehicles exposed on the driveway in any way makes thieves think twice.  You should be watching the video that someone posted from West Park where thieves unlocked a Range Rover in the driveway to get at the garage opener, which allowed them to...

    Semi-detached vs Detached??

    True I forgot about the dump trucks.  One of our friends lived right next to the 60 freeway behind a huge retaining wall and everyone thought she moved b/c of all the car noise.  She later revealed that was like white noise, it was the dump trucks and 18 wheelers bottoming out on bumps that...

    Semi-detached vs Detached??

    Sounds like you are referring to a zero lot line property.  I had this at my last property and honestly doesn't get in your way until your neighbor decides to repaint or fumigate their place - then the impact is pretty large all of a sudden.  I drive down Ridge Valley past CVE everyday and to...

    Auburn @ Stonegate -- internet provider/bundles

    The dish is just one of those draconian Irvine HOA oversight issues about uniformity, but most builds have conduit or at least a pull wire for fiber installers.  Whether you get Cox Gigablast or AT&T Fiber it will require some kind of fiber installation.

    PP vs CVE vs PS sales and value

    It's a moot point now.  It looks like the person Black Fever attacked probably requested the admins remove her account and all of her posts.  All gone poof.  Honestly it was damn creepy what BF said, as if they knew something personal and I don't blame her for wanting to get away from this...

    AT&T Fiber for New Development Communities in Irvine (Marin)

    Hmm I get what you are saying about it's like renting it but I don't get charged any taxes on the internet nor the gateway.  There's like 7 taxes but all are for TV related reasons (Sports Broadcast fee, etc. etc.).  See in my bill where it's flat $70 no taxes.

    AT&T Fiber for New Development Communities in Irvine (Marin)

    They gave me the 5268 with our when we got our Gig Fiber internet.  I find it decent enough that I'm not going to waste my time doing a double bridge config like I did on the Actiontec gateway when I lived in a Verizon Fios area(most of the provider gateways hand out IP's to your set top boxes...

    TIC woes

    Hmm I dunno if I find that comforting or disconcerting?  That TIC only acts when it is outed for shady practices...

    What are my internet service provider options in Irvine?

    We have the fiber service.  Installation wasn't bad they have two teams - one for the fiber from the street to the outside of your house, another that takes care of the inside wiring/provisioning.  No additional digging or drilling but our house is prewired for CAT 5e. The speed is mid 900s...

    The green farm land is nowadays Cypress Village East. Feel better?

    Lol maybe but that was not the intention.  Engineer to engineer when someone calls for data I know I will produce it when I make wide sweeping generic statements that can potentially affect people's lives.  Which brings us to another issue that gets glossed over - when you buy a CalPac property...

    The green farm land is nowadays Cypress Village East. Feel better?

    Really? Care to share some of this data from this "friend"?  Because last I checked there was huge swatches of the original El Toro base still exempted from full clearance.  They cleared enough to allow GP to move forward, but that doesn't mean they have cleared it all.  There are huge capped...

    The green farm land is nowadays Cypress Village East. Feel better?

    I don't think anyone ever questioned that it was farm land...it's 200 acres directly east of that strip that got everyone esp. YF's panties in a bunch.  There was some seriously irresponsible usage of solvents by the US Military there for 40+ years.

    what is a CAT 5E plug?

    Thanks, I wish the builder had an upgrade but mine didn't offer any baseboard upgrades for my development, which is a Godsend I suppose since I would have lost almost an inch due to the thickness of my flooring planks like Inc already said above.  They will only install the baseboards before...

    what is a CAT 5E plug?

    Good point and spot on.  Check out how uneven my slab was from the builder and the amount of concrete they had to repour to level out my slab in prep for hardwood:

    what is a CAT 5E plug?

    Worry not - I went through all the hesitation you are now but I am thankful I plowed ahead.  I had to grit my teeth in fear while they jackhammered my kitchen and entry tiles, but it passes.  The more you research you will find that doing hardwood with the builder results in having quarter...

    Rebate on New home purchases - Discuss

    That last sentence is the real life truth about Martin.  When we were looking at new constructions and one sales office was pushing us to take a less desirable lot without the conservatory option, he actually said to stand firm and wait for the better lot.  Keep in mind he was pushing his...
