    What is it about NWP?

    Low Mello Roos. Good schools in walking distance. Hicks Canyon trail. Not too old. Gated. Quiet. No affordable housing around. Far from land fill, El Toro base.

    Nothing but the kitchen sink

    This blog recommends a single bowl with an offset drain to gain more space below. Maybe splashing is a water pressure/faucet issue. http://www.kitchensoftheworld.com/page7.htm

    Arcadia @ Stongegate

    We were originally planning to buy in Arcadia. The lot size killed it for us. We ended up in NWP with lots of space around the house. The downside is all the remodeling ahead of us. Given the school zoning news, I think we made the right decision.

    Closet Organizers/Systems Recommendation?

    Elfa has gotten better visually. I recommend at least looking at the current offerings. Another perk is that is easy to make changes. They also provide professional installation. This is the style we ordered. Goes in Thursday...

    Closet Organizers/Systems Recommendation?

    I recommend looking at Elfa:http://www.containerstore.com/elfa/index.htm They have good designers at the store next to South Coast Plaza. They have nice stuff. Not sure if the sale is still on, but we got 30% off. We are paying around 3K for 3 walls (8', 6', and 5') + full height of shoe racks.

    Orchard Hills Homes

    There are model homes going up directly behind Northwood High School now. I saw workers assembling the framing this morning. I think this includes the TUSD side and the IUSD side.

    Orchard Hills Homes

    I was jogging up there this morning. The Santa Ana winds are powerful up in the hills.

    NP vs NWP

    I really like the Hicks Canyon trail next to NWP. NWP also seems very quiet and peaceful. Biased because I just bought there. :)

    Orchard Hills Homes

    It looks like TUSD is reaching across Culver. I'm guessing the IUSD side won't be developed until the Tustin side is sold. It seems awkward to be so close to Northwood HS yet go to Beckman HS.

    Garage Epoxy

    Did anyone get polyaspartic polyurea installed? I'm looking to get this done soon. The Perkins site has some scary images of deteriorated epoxy. They make epoxy look worse than a bare floor.

    termites inspection

    If you get your place tented, be prepared to fix the roof afterwards. Hidden cost. Our current house was tented and they broke around 20 roof tiles. I had to pay a roofer around $400 to fix them.

    What is this place?

    Ironic that the military enjoys larger lot sizes.

    Orchard Hills Housing Construction Underway...

    Neighborhood 3 will clearly be the most desirable. Gated, views, IUSD K-8 and HS all in walking distance. The perfect bubble. I'd be sure to have good fire insurance.

    Sausalito at Stonegate

    Apparently they had big mirrors in the backyard to make them look bigger. So your landscaper will have to trim the bushes and clean the mirrors! Soon we'll have houses with paintings of trees on the back.
