Any updates IHO? The previous owner of my house was a contractor, and he installed granite on all of the countertops. I like the look of them, but cleaning is a bit of a pain. My friends who have granite countertops as well told me that I can't use "regular" products like Clorox wipes to clean...

It was roughly $7K. It included: ~Removal of old bushes, plants, etc. ~Removal of two trees ~Sprinkler system repair ~Fixing cracked sidewalks, replacing brick ribbons ~Planting new plants, bushes, flowers ~Cost of materials ~Replacing some lights and fixing others I'm sure I'm missing a...

Thanks PS. I really appreciate it.

Driving...going with another couple and taking their car. They want to stay at the Comfort Inn by the Bay, as they stayed there before and enjoyed it. I prefer to stay somewhere...umm...a bit nicer. Mixed reviews for this hotel, and some complaints about how rundown it is. Thanks for the rec...

Wrong, wrong, wrong, and wrong. I'm simply a satisfied customer that enjoys writing recommendations for the service providers that I'm very happy with. See my other reviews before you jump to conclusions.

I'm spending a long weekend in SF and need a good hotel recommendation. Looking for the Golden Gate and Fisherman's Wharf areas. Relatively inexpensive...$170 max/night. Thanks in advance!

I used California Custom Landscape. They ripped out my front and back yards, which looked atrocious (previous owner let everything die) and replanted with a "tropical" theme in the front to match the rest of the neighborhood, and an "English garden" them in the back for my own piece of paradise...

I had Cox for 3 years when I lived in South County. I now have AT&T in Corona, which I've had for 6 months. They're the only outfit where I live. I think Time Warner is starting to move in, but they're horrible. Overall service is good, haven't had any problems with my internet or TV. I think...

I used House of Blinds in Laguna Hills for 3 reasons: 1. Yelp reviews 2. Price 3. I was trying to match existing plantation shutters, and out of 4 companies, they were the only ones that matched. I had a good experience overall and was impressed with their customer service. They didn't let...

Bump... I use California Custom Landscape. They ripped out my front and back yards, which looked atrocious (previous owner let everything die) and replanted with a "tropical" theme in the front to match the rest of the neighborhood, and an "English garden" them in the back for my own piece of...

Since summer is right around the corner (heh)... I bought a table, 6 chairs with pads, and a fire pit at Anaheim Patio during one of their sales. I went to the one at Tustin Marketplace. I really liked their selection, and they were willing to work with me on price. Great customer service as...

I closed at the end of June and faxed it the 2nd week of July.

HOO-FREAKIN-RAY  :'( After 6 months and weekly phone calls, I finally got my APPROVAL letter in the mail yesterday. I did a happy dance at my mailbox. I hope it's somewhere on YouTube.

My friends bought in Primrose back in October, and they've been having issues with mold/dampness, strong odors around their home, and something structural (I think). KB has been to their home many times since November (when they moved in) to address these issues. KB doesn't have a good...

You know I just had to reply to this to dispel some of the misconceptions (better late than never). To start off with, I'm a South County snob.  I admit it. Having moved to West Corona in July (just beyond the 241), I can honestly say it isn't that bad. Why? 1. No flies. Ants and spiders...

I called the FTB. Those who applied in mid-May are just starting to get their letters. It's about a 3 month wait time.

I went through 7 (yes, 7) Realtors in 18 months as a buyer. My biggest issue is that after a few months some of the Realtors started slacking; they wouldn't follow up on offers. They arrived late to appointments. They would ply me with very nicely-done bounded booklets of the homes I was going...

Thanks JC. I purchased in Corona. I work in Irvine, but the drive isn't that bad; I live a mile away from the toll road and I telecommute 1 day a week. It's a lot better than my commute from South OC. After 3 years of literally sitting on the 5 and 405, the toll road is a pleasure.

For me, it's huge. I'm a recent owner; been in my house for a month. I rented for the past 10+ years and never really considered the financial benefits: 1. Instead for paying for someone else's investment, I'm paying for my own. 2. Tax benefits, tax benefits, tax benefits 3. My mortgage+HOA...
