    Where to buy dwarf lemon tree?

    Laguna Hills Nursery offers excellent citrus trees. You should probably call ahead to make sure they have them in stock. The staff there are very knowedgeable and helpful, unlike the gits at HD.

    Overtaxed In Irvine? Property Tax adjustments

    JVNA, Yes, I most certainly did send in a Request for Informal Assessment review for the 2008 - 2009 roll. That is in addition to the formal appeal for 2007 - 2008 tax roll.

    Overtaxed In Irvine? Property Tax adjustments

    Anon, Please do not sit back patiently while the Assessors's Office does their thing. You have to be pro-active with them. It's not too difficult to do yourself. This brings to mind that old oxymoron....we're the government and we're here to help! RIGHT

    Villa Rosa open

    <p>GUII,</p> <p>Good luck relocating to Bend, you'll need it. A family member did just that in 2005, and was back within a year. I guess it's a nice place if you don't have to work.

When a resale of this model pops up (and it will) you could get a real bargain when you factor in the first owner has completed the landscaping, window coverings, upgrades, etc. These things really add up.
