We didn't go with the builder.  I was just checking online prices and found builder's prices were competitive and our cutoff day for appliance selection wasn't over yet.  Seeing people's responses on this thread, I decided not to change our mind. In general, I don't know what's good brand name...

You will get that when you signed the purchase contract.  But here they are: Freestanding Appliances (incomplete list): "Whirlpool Front Load Washer And Front Load Gas Dryer ($1,866.00) Washer #WFW9151YW; Dryer #WGD9151YW" "Whirlpool Front Load Steam Washer and Dryer ($2,767.00) Washer...

Thanks to eyephone, Irvinecommuter and lucky. @Irvinecommuter: I didn't know that the refrig is a build-in.  Thanks for the info. @eyephone & lucky: Thanks for tips on Lowes and Home Depot. @lucky: Sadly, we've gone through the stage when we select the kitchen appliances.  We selected the...

I'm currently at the Stage 4 of the IP Design Center appointment.  Among the selections are the freestanding appliances.  Although the Refrigerator and Washer/Dryer are in the higher price range, they are actually pretty competitively priced.  We would save on the delivery and installation...

lazy man's solution.  Fixes me.

I think so too.

Nice.  A neat trick to get to see the slab before installing.  Is one slab enough for all the countertops?

Anyone go with the darker standard granites?  My wife is considering the dark brown one (not the one with dark green in it) to make contrast with our white kitchen cabinets.  But I just can not imagine the result (for lack of imagination :-\).  It looks good on IP design Center's computer when...

Thanks to Lucky for the great photo.  But wait, if it's standard granite, how did you get a chance to look at it before it was installed?  I thought you only get to look at it at the slab yard if it's a upgraded granite, so I was told by the designer.

I forget all the fancy names for the granites or never pay attention to them because I know I'll forget them.  But if you say it's similar to the model 2X kitchen countertops, I assume it's the lighter color one (with more yellowish appear than what's in model 2X).  Yes, we like the look of...

So we went through the first appointment for stage 3 without deciding on anything, left with more questions.  I'm turning to TI for help (This is for Saratoga Plan 1): For Kitchen, anyone take the standard granite for counter-top?  Which color did you pick?  Can you share some thought if you...

I think Saratoga Plan-I's laundry room has cabinet as the stardard.  Are you talking about Plan-II and you need to pay extra for that?

We added privacy door, mirrored door in walk-in closet, mirrored closet door in my of bedroom, whole house insulation, and ceiling fan pre-wire in all rooms & great room.  On cabinets, we added dinning room cabinet, launch base and upper by garage entry, and upper cabinet over master room...

I didn't know there is actually a gift shop for TI.  Cool.

For people who lives, or are going to live, in Stonegate, do you worry about we're right next to the Great Park, a formal SUPERFUND site?  I'm sure this issue have been discussed many times in TI, but this is the most recent one:http://www.talkirvine.com/index.php/topic,3716.0.html I personally...

OK.  I get it.  It's my ignorance to say that mainstream media didn't report it.  Now the questions are how much don't we know about the level of contamination and how much it will impact the neighborhood communities.

If what's in the documentary is true (and I tend to believe this sort of thing and I don't trust government and corporates, especially when they're together), this must be disastrous, in US standard.  But yet it seems on the surface, things are pretty calm.  No mainstream media ever reported...

Let's have some sort of "TI sticker" put on our short when we go out. I've been a frequent visitor before I register to IT and post messages.  I noticed there are quite a few people mentioning purchasing Saratoga, including lucky, I think.  Now that I've actually joined the club, I really want...

I was in the same mental state when I got the call.

I think we're talking about different market between now and then, and probably different builders too.  This is IP that I'm dealing with.  Believe me, I've walked in many times.  They won't even give me any clues about what was my number on the priority list.  Maybe it would have been a...
