    Has anyone run surround sound in the living room of the plan 3 at Camden?

    I don't know the answer to your question, but love, love, love your login name. Save the mantis!

    Awesome. Spammers are now pilfering my posts. :P

    Any advice/opinions on Crescent Heights???

    I have not seen these homes, but I did look over the website. Maybe someone with a better understanding of production housing can explain, but I am curious as to why Plans 2 and 3 both have a <em>full</em> bathroom on the first floor when there is no bedroom (and apparently no optional bedroom)...

    A little trip report

    While not the land of large homes, large lots, and perfectly manicured lawns, we went to<a href="http://www.latimes.com/classified/realestate/printedition/la-re-guide31aug31,0,2788495,full.story"> Old Town Torrance</a> yesterday. The residential neighborhood has suffered somewhat with the City...

    Villa Rosa Listing for under $900,000

    What about renters of SFRs whose landlords are paying the HOAs? Should it be any different where the apartment owner pays the HOAs?

    Paul is da bomb. Seriously. We used him when we had some dripping faucets and thought he was worth his weight in gold.

    Self-directed IRA

    You, my friend, need a tax or estate planning lawyer. If you find one, will you let me know?

    Kappo Hanna -- Laguna Hills

    I see that no one told you that the most dangerous place to be is between me and grilled saba (mackerel). That looks wonderful, Momo! We went here a few years ago and really enjoyed it, but don't venture that way often. We will really need to go back.

    I just successfully got our house designated on the Historic Register!

    <a href="http://www.eichlernetwork.com/Quest.html">Some Eichler homes have qualified as National Historic Places.</a> I really like having the designation for unique properties, and particularly for whole neighborhoods because even changing a few homes within a neighborhood can change the...

    I just successfully got our house designated on the Historic Register!

    Congratulations BK & Grace! That's awesome because I had heard that the City of Santa Ana was trying to cut back on their Mills Act grants because the City loses the money and they really need (want?) it right now. <a href="http://ohp.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=21412">Mills Act info.</a>...

    Kate Plus 8

    I watched it once, and don't really recall the episode, but this strikes me as a chicken and egg problem. Did Kate treat him like a child because he was acting like one, or was he acting like that because she treated him that way. Maybe a little of both?

    Wine Thread

    I don't recall the reds, but at the Bordeaux tasting we liked the 2008 Ch?teau de Cornemps (a rose) and the 2008 Ch?teau Montet Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc. They are not "Wow!" wines, but for <$9, they are pretty good. I'll keep you posted on the rest as we drink them. We still have not...

    Homes you have toured/looked at/want/wish to have outside of Irvine (outside of OC is cool too)

    Those designs just simply don't work as a three story. The proportion is all off. It's like the builder saw that his five year old could put together a block of legos and made the child the architect. Oh well, I'm sure there is an aesthetically-challenged multi-generational family out...
