Any recommendations on a landscaper that is familiar with building a brick oven (wood fired grill)?

How was the design and pricing? I've gotten a few quotes, but haven't favored one landscaper over another. Wondering if I'll get lucky with John.

I recommend Custom Wood Shutters & blinds. They worked with our budget and did an awesome job with the installations. They sell Hunter Douglas and Sunland Shutters. For drapes, I ordered them from Bed Bath and Beyond using the 20% new mover's discount. Got the 108" length and hemmed the bottom...

Just met with Jo at Echo Family, inc. Sounds like he did quite a few homes in Irvine. Anyone have experience working with him? I feel like all these landscapers just talk about their work/referrals/competitors and barely take the time to hear what I want in my design. Hopefully the drawings will...

We got a quote from them a few weeks ago. From the outside, i like their design but i don't know about their quality. any other recommendations? or opinions from people who have had their landscaping done with them? Abraham Kang 949-322-1340

home depot also will bound carpet into an area rug. we got some martha stewart carpet bounded and custom sized. also was able to use the 10% lowes mover discount there

the 96" have been too short and 108" too long (since i want to leave at least 5" for crown molding). ilm stuck in between

I'm looking for crown molding as well. can i get his contact info?

The morgage officer just gave us the terms over the phone and via email. He wants us to go in and put together the application tomorrow, which seems a bit rushed but he says its so he can make sure we still close on time.

I'm hoping to get a little bit of advice since I'm a first time home buyer. We are due to close escrow next month and TM funding has been very slow in approving our loan and even responding to phone calls. Anyhow, we received a better interest rate through our bank Morgage officer than the going...

my husband and I are meeting with the designers tomorrow. we have already chosen the golden maple cabinets and we want to do the same wood floors (like the photo), however we can't decide on a wall color. i'm leaning toward a cooler color since i think brown/beige will wash the room out. What's...

We're expecting our first next month and went with the uppa baby and chicco keyfit also. The uppa baby lets you start with a bassinet, car seat, then upgrade to the child seat. Plus if we want to have a second child, we can add a booster seat and seat them both on the same stroller. It's a bit...

Is there a wait list for the woodbury location? I saw that they are opening fall 2012. Is there a way to get on the wait list now?

what's being built on the other side of Sand Canyon across from the Great Park?

any predictions on the interest rates for mortgage loans? We did a few pre-quals and the rate went from 3.875 to 4.125. I'm hoping it'll come back down at the end of the year when we need to lock in our rates

bought a new SFH 2 weeks ago after searching for old and new homes in Irvine

in case anyone was interested in the price increase on this last phase... The price sheet was a range on the day of lot sign up and people were called to be given the exact price. I don't like how they did it this time. i think they are testing to see how much they can increase the lot prices...

Any good contractor referrals? Im debating in whether u should upgrade the cabinets and floors or Just hire someone to do it after we close so I don't end up paying property tax on my upgrades. Any advice for a first time home owner? :)

jodi called us to let us know that lot 150 has a $50k lot premium. NOT worth it considering a 13 foot driveway isn't really considered a driveway. We went by there again today since Garden Hill was supposedly opening up this saturday, but the models don't look close to being done.

so i take it that it's worth hiring an inspector? i didn't think i would need to for a new home, but sounds like there are issues. can anyone recommend a good one? we're signing contracts this weekend
