Looks like I missed the "rush" for mooncakes this year, what was I thinkin? Now driving out for seconds. At least its going to be cheaper. Any recommendations, anybody? Personal experiences? I was thinking of going to 85 degrees, JJ Bakery, 99 Ranch not sure, to see what left overs the have left.

So...anybody out there with good recommendations for a reliable gardener/landscaper at all? Would really be useful for my small yard with overgrown plants and a broken sprinkler timer. Possible maintenance work after too. Anyone?  :)

I went to the open house too the first weekend and then paid no heed to it. I found it interesting, although I have to say that the house sits on a cramped lot, not a million dollar environment nor spacious floorplan I would expect. I left my email as routinely asked and that was that. This...

Great! Good news on your escrow.  :) So how is it that you will be selling a house before buying another? Is there a general strategy you're thinking of for this? Would be great to know. Its a general predicament I am sure many homeowners would fall into some time in their life

I really like the name "Talk Irvine", though--its very much more casual and cafe inducing than Irvine Housing Blog, which sounds like I am at work reading a technical paper. Any chance you can maintain that? What do everyone else here think?

rkp - ingenious, thank you.  8) My husband totally understands what you're trying to do, however, execution is another. So can you kindly walk us through the details on how you did that? We have a box in the guest room upstairs that connects to the main line outside, a cable outlet in that room...

This is great news!  :) Now I can finally cook any country's cuisine by shopping up and down Culver from my house. More Western and Eastern European delis would be entirely welcomed too. Love that they are renovating Heritage Plaza. Can't wait.

:) Great, Kubert, good for you. So as an update: I had Safe Racks (which is also Garage Concepts) come by to install the racks in the garage, and they told me its not possible!  :( because our house is one of the few that is steel framed in Irvine. Go figure! Yeah, I did forget to mention that...

Hi IHO Any follow ups on Saferacks? Is there a minimum ceiling height required for these? Am looking to put one in.

Am thinking of replacing our shower door. Its not glass, perhaps some kind of acrylic not sure, but no matter what I do, I can't clean the lime (white dots) off. Its foggy, never clear with white spots that never come off. I need to find some kind of shower door that will eliminate this kind of...

:) Hilarious thread. I think the issue started as a speculation on whether this is a flip or not, , though mistaken, ay ok, sorry NonFCB, but beef of the matter is the price of the house, period. It certainly has curb appeal, now price adjusted to 1.1 but in this market- truly the beef of the...

Hi everyone in Irvine, Anybody had good experiences with a particular company/contractor in doing a garage epoxy job for your garage fairly recently? Standard 2 car garage 10 yr old smooth with usual wear concrete, prefer it to last long with a clear coat with some decorative flakes. Know this...
