Only 1 more hour.  I am going here for the food, to see the bamboo trees in the backyard, the ping pong table to entertain your guests, the functional kitchen where you have keep your rice cooker out of sight, and the small skinny walkways in between the houses, and hopefully each house has a...

You just bring it.  It's the final walk through where you stick tape everywhere.  Just don't expect them to address all the issues where the tape is. They pretend to fix it so you are just wasting your time.  When there is a lot of tape all over your walls for the "paint drip" marks, they will...

Don't even call him a customer service guy.  Consider him a moron that doesn't know what he is doing.  He will spew more useless nonsense than those guys in the Sales Office.  I heard the same line before, if it's my house, I won't bother and you can't expect perfection.  You correct them by...

Has anyone had any issues requesting warranty service for their new homes?  I am getting such a snippy attitude about things, I am ready to just hire someone myself to deal with the issues and sue them for the expense of the repair and for breach of contract.  Or course, before I do this, I will...

You should complain.  I did this with my work building and now smoking is prohibited 50 feet from the building.  They got sick of the people complaining and all the litter in the entrance.  I would also approach any women who was pregnant and ask them to complain about the smoke too.

Either I will sue or develop an annoying habit myself.  I will burn manure in my backyard with newspaper.  I forgot my OC Register password... By MARILYN KALFUS / ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER The battle over secondhand smoke is intensifying in California, as the focus shifts from public spaces to...

No regrets so far, living the motorcourt dream.  I have a couple of pet peeves.  Asians doing construction on Sundays.  Association rules say no work on Sunday but then again, this is a do nothing association.  This should taper off since the Association sent everyone notice that it's...

Whether it's a forced upgrade or not, there will be one common theme; $hitty a$$ construction quality.  We bought 90% of our upgrades from the builder but that didn't stop them from cutting corners.  You don't get extra quality or piece of mind by buying upgrades from the builder.  Of course...

Yep.  Wait until you go during Thanksgiving.  It's also a perfect time to go during Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Very cheap rates at all of the hotels. ;)

Not to insult your friend but this advice is moronic.  Hook up with USCTrojanCPA and work something out.  Visit the place with your agent and pre-qualify.  When a new phase opens up, they phone the names on the list.  First one gets there gets the opportunity to buy.  There are tons of money to...

Well, haven't you heard?  It's a great time to buy a house.  Interest rates are at an all time low so the banks are practically giving money away.  With the Mendocino plan, we sell out every week.  Our homes are built with quality unlike those other builders who I cannot mention.  Come in a look...

Finally was able to do the final walk through inspection this week.  It was more of a find the scratches, dents, and half-a$$ed workmanship.  After I was done, the walls looked like the football helmets you see on college teams. >:D >:D The cabinet doors were installed wrong.  Crooked. "Don't...

100% correct.  According to research done at IP, termites tend to favor other builders' (but they can't mention the name) homes than theirs.  Therefore, it's an unnecessary expense.  With the money you save, you can use it to spend on over priced upgrades at their design center. If do you...

You talk to your friendly sales person in the sales office about any issues.  It helps if you have a picture of the issue.  They will relay it to the Construction Supervisor.  You are given the chance to do a structural tour with one of the Construction Supervisors before the dry wall is put...

Sorry about that, was I suppose to take only 1?  I got 6.  I got there around 2pm, it was really slow.  They must had panicked that the crowd was dying down only to resurge later in the afternoon and handed me 2 at a time.

TV Media Center.  I went in my place and another residence 2 in the same motor court.  What one will you get?  Nobody knows!

Sorry, have been very busy at work.  Also took on a second job of inspecting my house at intervals.  You have to be very pushy and demanding if you spot a defect.  Don't be gun shy.  If you see something that you don't like, raise hell. "Don't worry we will do a quality inspection." That's a...

Here are my thoughts.  Despite telling them that I am only here to look around, they went into "sales mode" spewing facts about the community and the models:  "Wow, we are really excited to have this map of the Mendocino." "Great time to buy a house." "Sign our buyers list now." "We have...
