    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific

    We saw the same and went with the builder -- the difference for us when you take into consideration the whole house flooring credit was coming down to a couple of thousand (once you add all the demo / base boards cost etc) -- and as we were anyhow going with the builder for the bathroom floors...

    Shutters

    Hi, Can anyone share some estimates that they got for roller shades ? -- to put on the sliding door between the dining area and the backyard (in most of the new constructions) Also we just noticed that the windows in our new house don't have much depth on the sills and so the shutters guys was...

    Cell phone signal in OH

    ATT is comparatively better over at OH -- but still the signal is pretty bad inside the house -- this has more to do with the insulation and window glass etc that is being used in the new houses. I remember checking the signal at the same places prior to construction and it was pretty good.

    Hi TJ -- I just checked the wiring diagram for the Plan 2 and the CAT - 5 connection is included in every room -- even the downstairs bedroom. Maybe IP added in the later phases.

    Does your Builder recommend Wells Fargo as their in house lender?

    Hi SGIP -- does this mean Wells Fargo will not be a preferred lender for IP properties starting tomorrow or in the next 90 days? - -as the article says "The decision is effective Aug. 1 and the wind down will occur over the following 90 days".

    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific

    So Insulation is part of the problem - makes sense to an extent because I remember checking cell reception at Strada when the houses were not built and it was very good -- Can you guys try with open windows and see if that makes any difference (even though this sounds stupid). On a side note -- ...

    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific

    Aries -- Is this inside the house or even outside? -- I had noticed that usually it drops more when you are inside -- not sure if its is because of the insulation etc --  I spoke to the construction guys out there some time back and they said that off all the different services out there, ATT...

    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific
