    Bedwetting in older kids

    I am not sure of bedwetting alarms, but below are few best practices that worked for us: a. Let the kids go to bathroom just before they go to sleep b. Do not give liquids an hour before they go to sleep. If you have to, just one sip. c. Provide positive support. If your child isn't stressed out...

    Hindsight Bubble Regrets

    Hindsight is always 20:20. For us, we fell out of escrow (seller did not agree to change $10K windows) from South County SFR in 2006 - now its $150K less. So, thats good. Now, Interest rates are making the houses a little affordable, not the prices. Back then, both (prices and rates) were...

    99 Shadywood Revisited

    What is %variance between list price and sold price in Irvine, recently? Looks like this one listed at $819K (max) and sold at $800K - that's ~2.5%. With this, buyers should have felt satisfied at some level, but in (fundamental  ::)) reality they could have been much more satisfied.

    Where can I find homes with vaulted/cathedral ceilings in Irvine?

    Other cities have many vaulted ceiling SFRs - viz., Anaheim hills, RSM, Aliso Viejo and thats built after 1999 too. I am not sure if TIC has pre-set rules for builders to maximise the sqft per lot, hence most newer construction has no vaulted ceilings. Homes with vaulted ceiling spells...

    Roof Leak

    Thanks IR2. Our warranty is with Fidelity. I called RoofRx, they mentioned the price for "Total Roof Warranty Coverage" is $199 for first year - but pre-existing conditions are excluded from coverage. Since we have already established that our roof is leaking, I am not sure if we can get the...

    Where can I find homes with vaulted/cathedral ceilings in Irvine?

    Oh, no. I am disappointed!  :'( On the other hand Irvine could get more congested with all the new communities and stucco's. Back to the point in discussion, I love cathedral ceilings too. Searched for a decently priced SFR with cathedral ceilings in irvine for almost 5 years, gave up. We got...

    Help needed... how do I get my deposit back?

    akim, sorry to hear. We were in the same position few years ago, home inspection report came back with $10K repairs and sellers were not willing to pay for the repairs. I dont remember exactly whether it was over or under 17 days, but cancelled the escrow. Our agent helped us in the process to...

    Northpark Flip: 2 Malibu

    My screen name could have been anything, isn't it? I could very well live in Glendora and join TI with screen names such as IrvineRanchResident, IrvineOwner etc., TustinRanchResident is just my TI persona. You can take a dig at it (like your usual), as if I care. For me its simple, make the...
