    Replacing AC Filter - Odd Sizes?

    it it's 8 x 24 x 1 they should make the filter 7.5 x 23.5 x 1.  That way it fits in the opening.  If there is a slight gap around the filter it's ok because once it's sucking in air it will form a suction and because the filter is allowing air flow the edges should be fine.  If you're not even...

    Replacing AC Filter - Odd Sizes?

    I checked amazon and bought one of them from a vendor...the filters were 2mm too big and I can't fit in the filter area.  They don't offer anything good.  The ones from Lowes, Home Depot for Filtrete are perfect.

    Refrigerator

    Fridge is one of the appliances not worth buying through the builder. When I see what's offered for counter depth fridges today, there are so many options and best buy, lowes, etc all offer great sales around this time.

    Garage Cabinets

    Epoxy was and still is worth it to me.  So easy to clean my garage floor.  No oil stains, take a mop and I'm looking like new.  I guess for a lot of people garages don't matter but my garage is a big deal to me.

    Which shutter compamu is better? Norman or Sunland?

    Like every vendor...make sure you micro manage their work.  I remember having to have them fix some mis-aligned shutters.  Usually not an issue if you call them out at the time of install since they are already there.

    Which shutter compamu is better? Norman or Sunland?

    I went to Pacific Windecor http://www.yelp.com/biz/pacific-windecor-los-angeles Phone number listed is his cell phone.  Guys name is Arvind. My brother and I both used him and I think his work was pretty good for the price.  I think someone else on this board used him as well.

    Which shutter compamu is better? Norman or Sunland?

    I have Norman shutters and I chose them because the mechanism that controls the shutters opening and closing are built into the shutter and not visible.  I haven't seen or researched sunland shutters so I couldn't compare.  Depending on who installs your shutters, you'll probably have to have...

    IAC LEASE RENEWAL NEGOTIATION QUESTIONS

    So living in a number of IAC apartments, each one acts as it's own independent entity.  So while living in Palmeras, the staff was much friendlier and willing to negotiate a better rate. Other apartments said no negotiations what you see on that paper is what you get.  It never hurts to ask, the...

    Pedestrian Bridge over Jeffrey Open Space Trail??

    I thought they would have did some sort or decorated bridge...maybe fake rock like they did the walls building up to the bridge.  While I agree I wasn't happy with the look of the bridge, I've grown to just accept them and it doesn't bother me anymore.

    Upgrades for new homes

    While I did get the whole house insulation I don't feel it provides that much...maybe they changed the insulation they used, but an R13 doesn't do much for you.  I wish they at least give you the option to pick  higher quality insulation or even spray foam.  I'd payf for that.  My house still...

    Cox Internet preferred vs premier vs ultimate

    My DirectTV is cheaper than anything Cox was offering...although Cox now that I left is sending me all sorts of discount emails.  But it's only for 3 months and then goes back up to full price.  Plus I got $200 Costco card signing up through Costco.

    Pavilion Park Homeowners: Beware of Tom Gonzales (Landscaper)

    Something to add is many of the landscapers take the 10% upfront before even drafting your plan.  So how do you get the HOA to get you your 10% back?  The person who is approving the plans actually works for the property management company hired by the HOA versus someone who is actually on the...
