    Doors

    Possibly. But the wife has been complaining about not having a full length mirror, so thinking of getting a distressed wood sliding one with a large full length mirror insert. Serves all 3 functions: 1) decorative piece in the master bedroom, 2) full length mirror, and 3) bathroom/shower door...

    I've seen it in a model home with a sliding sliding barn door style that was nicely done and very minimal. Something like this:http://yourhomeonlybetter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ref-gd181.jpg

    Irvine blvd/ Modjeska : what is being built here?

    Hope so, I'm getting tired of the food options in Woodbury. I hope there's going to be an In-N-Out..lol But it also makes sense to provide food options within walking distance to the new HS, since walking to Woodbury from the new HS isn't really feasible.

    it' not a straight swap. They sell these converters (depending on your specific socket type); however, the disclaimer is that "You will need to BYPASS the BALLAST in your SYSTEM for this converter to work properly."...

    TM - Is this Discriminatory?

    Why not ask the TMHF loan officer to quote you the Fannie Mae requirement for it and see if they can produce it? If it's actually not, I'm sure they will eventually fold and pass on it. Or will finally admit that it's their own requirement. My guess is that it's the latter because they want to...

    Have you ever considered moving to another state?

    I've worked in Seattle before and lived there 5 days week for a 1.5 year. Winter, rain/drizzle is just all rolled into 1 season, which is pretty much ~Sept - May. And during non-DST time, it's dark out by ~4pm. July and Aug is great, with the sun not setting until ~9:30pm. Denver is very...

    Have you ever considered moving to another state?

    Average property tax rate in TX is ~1.8% - pretty much a wash with mello roos in Irvine Newer communities still have HOA assessments - the older ones that don't, you have neighbors that don't keep up on their front landscaping and is an eyesore - you don't have much neighborhood amenities, if...

    Have you ever considered moving to another state?

    That's a personal call as to what's considered pros and cons. To each his own.

    Have you ever considered moving to another state?

    I did the same, and after 3 years, sold my place in Dallas and moved back to OC. lol Lifestyle here is worth the higher cost of living IMO.

    Landscaping - Plant Suggestions

    We're considering Podocarpus. Requires some regular annual maintenance to keep it from growing too big. I believe regular pruning keeps it under control and works well as a privacy screening plant.

    How much money would you spend on Design Center?

    Price sheet differs per plan as well because materials needed for some upgrades will differ based on each plan's design. For example, surface area needed for backsplash differs for each kitchen layout and each bathroom size. Even something simple as cabinet hardware depends on the total number...

    How much money would you spend on Design Center?

    That's about the same through our builder's design studio. Fyi also, when they gave us the upgrade price list some of the upgrade prices seemed ridiculously high (even by builder's standard). We questioned them and eventually got reductions on some of them. And in one case, it was because it...

    How much money would you spend on Design Center?

    For perspective, I recently stopped by Tompkins Flooring showroom to get gauge on pricing and decent wood floor will probably cost ~$7+ sq ft for the wood and then ~$4+ sq ft for install. Laminate options would be cheaper, ~$3 + $2 sq ft maybe? So estimating ~$10 sq ft for 800 sq ft is already...
