Sounds like a good idea but I really want some green for a future pet. Anyway, Were you referring to one of these? http://www.houzz.com/photos/331494/Villa-Terra-mediterranean-exterior-san-franciscohttp://www.houzz.com/photos/406949/Mexico-House-mediterranean-exterior-new-york I seriously...

What does everyone think about synthetic grass/artificial turf? I need to landscape a small area ~500 sqft and some parts do not get direct sunlight. I have been told that grass does not grow without direct sunlight so I'm considering artificial turf... Any thoughts? If you have artificial turf...

Wow.. Assuming our credit ratings are similar, rates have risen for sure. I had similar loan and down payment numbers ..got the same interest rate with about $8K credit towards closing from Stan Pac Mortgage. This was in Dec 2012.

When you decide on the water softener system and contractor can you post the info? I am thinking of getting one too. The stains hard water leaves on glass ware, sink, and shower is just unsightly !

Haven't used it in the bay area since late 2011.. the address on the account is my current address... so maybe their system is not good enough to catch this?

Yes, positively sure. I bought my transponder in the Bay Area and have been using it in Socal for the last 2 years with no problems and no fees when I haven't used it for a month.

Next time you are up in the Bay Area, pick up one of the transponders, register it and use it once in one of those tolls there...you get some free credit + you do not get billed the $2 no-use fee.  Bayarea Fastrak works down here so you won't have any problems

Went with your recommendation couple of weeks back. Got a great deal on king bed + mattress. The downside of course is that you pick from a catalog. But hard to go wrong with beds in general. Thanks for the tip.

I got quoted about the same for a 5-coat system by Vision Garage and probably going with them.

Did you get someone to do it for you? How much did it cost?

Folks, I have received 3 quotes with different numbers for garage epoxy flooring $1250 - 5 coat system $920  and $770  - 3 coat system I don't plan on doing anything too crazy in the garage that requires extra protection. Is a 5-coat system required? And, are these numbers reasonable or too high?

Plummers is also known as Scandinavian Designs in Nor cal. I have plenty of furniture from them and what I have found is their quality is not across the board. There are some pieces of furniture that has held up and other's that haven't and quality of stuff in their store is directly...

There is no button ..I think what you are referring to is the 'Priority Button' that lets you override the temperature for one use. Anyway it would have been a nice feature to have but would have been an upgrade for sure.

Just moved into a new home with a tankless water heater. I have not seen our first bill yet but the water does take a while to get hot. For example, the kitchen sink which is close to the garage takes ~20 seconds to get hot water. The shower in the master bath which is the furthest away from the...

thanks trojan.. I will email you for info

Hi Folks, I am closing on my new home soon and I was wondering about the condition a new home when I get the keys. Do builders do a deep clean before they deliver or is it recommended that the buyer do a thorough clean before moving in? The builder is Standard Pacific if that matters. What...

I was up there over the weekend. I like the gated entry (looks nice) and the location...close to Spectrum.. closer to beach..blah ..blah. BUT there is this constant buzz from 405 and I'm not kidding. I was on the Siena side of the community and I could hear it loud and clear. Can you hear it...

I started looking Nov 2011 ..and seriously since Feb 2012. Entered into 5 bidding wars...and finally bought a new home. Looking back, I would say bottom was during the period Sep 2011 - Jan 2012.  If you look at the stats... that is about when the inventory started dwindling.

Do you remember what the Casero Plan 1 was selling for? What did you think of the Casero building quality/finishes when compared to some of the IP homes?
