I know this is an older thread but we did also.  Went in one day thinking there would be a potential disagreement and was told "Sure, no problem".  They did not even care for a reason.  Received a check in the mail which I cashed and was done with it.

Even if you love what you will be doing, a bad boss or bad co-workers you have to interact with will make the 'love' turn to 'hate'.

I sold my house in Irvine about 7 years ago where the number was 4.  It did not end in 4 or start with 4, it was JUST 4. I have to tell you it DID cause some Asian buyers to not want to see it which reduces the pool of potential buyers.  In addition, my house entrance is at an angle and not...

Suggestion: Document the date, time, participants and the situation and outcome of every 'incident'. Many years ago I had a similar situation where the older boss (who is socially very nice) would accuse people under him of taking stuff or messing things up but it was because he was very...

He does not have a Yelp listing?

Maybe cj5's neighbor threw old smelly fish into the trash can outside and contaminated the neighborhood with the aroma.

Congrats USCTrojanCPA.  Looks good.

Is that part of the Ficus family?  If so, I would not plant that anywhere near a house due to Ficus having very strong and aggressive roots that can damage pipes and foundations.

While I was living in the '4' house, I spoke to my neighbor who owned the '8' house.  When he was renting the house out, he was approached by an Asian offering above the rental asking price because he wanted to live in a house with the number '8'.  Go figure. Should I get a license plate on my...

There are a lot of very rich Non-Asian families in Laguna Niguel where the kids also just like to party and not value the dollar.  When you see teenagers taking their parents (at least I hope it is their parents) Bently, R8, Porsche 911 Turbo, SL550's, etc. and hanging with their friends, it...

My house in Irvine had a '4' in it.  Actually it was just '4' and the street name.  Did it potentially scare of some people?  I am sure.  I still sold it in less than 30 days to Asians (not all Asians believe in numerology) and earned a very solid return. I actually had a potential buyer walk...

But wait!  Wasn't the lottery supposed to pay for all this?  and, and, and all the other school bond measures over the years also?  Looks to me like a money swap folks.....  Now they can reduce the existing taxes they funnel to the schools and redirect it somewhere else since voters covered...

If the goal is to have hot water immediately at the faucet you can get a "point of use water heater".  They are a couple hundred bucks and work well to provide almost instant hot water to those area of the house that take forever to get hot water flowing.

One reason to not get a tankless heater.....  50 gallons of fresh water storage in the tank if there is an earthquake that disrupts water supply.  Just turn off the inlet to keep contaminated water from seeping in.  With a tankless you will get what? 2-3 gallons?

Congrats USC!  When is the housewarming?  Regarding 3CWG, my third car space started as a trusty space for a car but over time has devolved into storage.  Now the only time that third car garage door opens is when the kids want to pull out their bikes/skateboards/go cart/other wheeled items...

That is good to hear.  Our association requires Dunn Edwards paint to be used so not too worried about that.  I read somewhere that in California most paints used for residential (interior and exterior) are required to be water based due to the Vox? rating for air quality when the paint dries...

I disagree.  My kids went to Montessori and when they transitioned from Westpark Montessori to a regular school, my kids had a little bit of an adjustment period due to the switch from 'free form' to 'structured' but it was not a big deal.  The comments I received from the teachers were the kids...

Who on this site has used James Kim (3 High Painting) at least 3 years ago to paint the outside of their house?  Did the paint last or did it start fading/peeling, etc? He quoted me a decent price and I am planning to go with him but wanted to know if the paint job lasts.  I have seen houses...

So there has been a lot of construction in and around the Irvine area over the past few 'drought' years.  From what I have been told in the past, when developing a new area (especially hilly areas), it takes a few years for the ground to 'settle' into it's final resting state.  This is also...
