There have been a ton of teardowns in TRock and I am specifically interested in Marquand Contracting.  They did a Santa Barbara home (easily 4500-5000 sq feet) off of Sierra Boca.  Does anyone have a rough idea what it costs to tear down a home (maybe save a garage wall) and then rebuild a new...

I am going to have a high-schooler next year and I recently went to the parent/student orientation.  I am totally confused about PE/sports. In middle school, I know of students who leave school early because of gymnastics or swimming because they are nationally ranked.  Is this the case for...

Are there any accountants on here?  Do you have to have a corporation to do this?  What if you have an LLC?  Can you still qualify for this?

I don't think that IUSD updated their textbook information for the upcoming change in the math program.  I was wondering if there are any kids of TI parents who are in the year-round schools and are in Integrated Math I.  I was wondering how it was going for them since  they are the first guinea...

We had our Back-to-School night and the teachers talked a little about Common Core Standards, but not enough that I really understand the changes. Are there any teachers on the boards, and what is your opinion? Language Arts didn't seem to change that much, but I got the sense they are dumbing...

Has anyone ever seen this house?  I am not interested- already own a home, but see that this house has been on the market for what seems like forever for a TRock home.  I think it's had offers several times but then it always seems to go back to active status again- was just curious what might...

How important really is GATE?  What if your child is more science/math gifted and less so in English?  Isn't there an Honor or some faster-track math program when they get to middle school- and then they do the AP math/science in high school?  When are they tested for that?  Does it really...

Tell me your favorite places.  I don't like overly sweet things. Is JJ's/Bon Epi/place in HMart comparable to 85 degrees for cakes?  I am not talking about those bun/rolls things- just cakes. It doesn't have to be an Asian bakery- but I don't care for Layer Cake and I think that French's...

I am unpacking stuff in my garage from an out-of-state move and had professional packers and OMG- the amount of packing material and boxes in crazy.  I can't start unpacking more until I get rid of the enormous amount of packing paper from the boxes I unpacked. Is there any place that in Irvine...

I have never experienced zero-lot lines until I moved to California.  When I was looking at buying a house, I never thought of the issues one might have if you purchased such a home.  If you have a zero-lot line house, what are the conditions to build onto your house? I rented a house in...

In doing some walks, I noticed that 103 Retreat had been what seemed like an abandoned home.  Now all of a sudden there is lots of commotion- landscapers sprucing up the front, etc. Did this house foreclose and now is sold to someone else?  Or is the bank maybe trying to fix it up and put it on...

Maybe those Montecito alley courts (or whichever TIC WBE collection it is) isn't so bad after all.  They wouldn't be dealing with what seems to be a silly parking situation to many, but it is bugging the crap out of me. Here's my situation: A new neighbor recently moved into their house after...

How much would you estimate 1350 sq feet of travertine to cost for cleaning? I got 2 estimates- both vastly different. One for $1620 The other for $400 Anyone recommend a reputable cleaner?
