    Orchard Hills - Strada by Irvine Pacific

    Connecting the dimmer to the fan will damage the motor. If your fan has an LED light try buying the LED compatible dimmer switch.  My regular dimmer switch worked with LED lights, but you can  tell the LED lights would frequently dim or brighten on their own.  This doesn't happen with an LED...

    Auburn at Stonegate by Richmond American

    ^ it was not very grand, I got caught eating tacos under that window as well.  On the other hand a prospective buyer would appreciate knowing that they can eat in their driveway.

    Home sales weaken as Chinese investors sour on US real estate!!!

    I agree with this, it's hard to imagine a crash occuring in the same way considering how excruciating it was to buy our current house or to get qualified now.

    Eastwood Village Petaluma options

    Do the paint later if you can, or yourself. I think the price comes out better, and you get much better options, like semi gloss near wet areas.

    Require Trash Haulers to use 133/241 Toll Roads

    It would be better than those trucks taking Sand Canyon/Jeffrey.  Those trucks stink, they are an eyesore, they sometimes spill garbage on the road.  They are loud and drive fast, I swear this morning two of them appeared to be racing head to head as they passed Irvine Blvd.

    Saratoga's Electric Ovens

    When I was going thru possible upgrades at the design center, I was going to choose the appliance upgrade, but wasn't allowed to because the oven would have required a 220v connection , which I had already ordered for the garage.  I guess I wasn't allowed to have two, so I had to go with the...

    I'm confused by this, Santa Maria doesn't have chimneys, and you can't tear holes in the exterior.  How do they have a fireplace?  Is it one of those amish type of fireplaces , lol?
