Egging the front door??!! Now that’s bad! Most kids in Stoney Creek are young ones (under 10) and are closely watched by their parents. Other than chasing my dog (just being playful) and sometimes parking their tricycle just outside of my driveway, I haven’t had any problems with them. Having video surveillance would help. I did use part of the credit to install wiring for V.S. but not the actual equipment yet. Just that catching naughty kids vandalizing my property was not one of my intentions.
As for the bone-headed act of our draper guy (drilling into my drainage pipe), yes, he’s fully responsible. Our drywall has not bee patched yet, pending a moisture/mold investigation by another company. But when it’s all over, we’ll deduct these expenses from his invoice.
To take 52 to the I-15, I’d recommend Cuyamaca to Town Center Pkwy to Mission Gorge. It’s faster than taking Mast. Mast has more stop lights, more traffic in the morning and a slow zone when driving past that high school. I made comparison and found that it taking Mission Gorge would get me to the I-15 in about 10-12 minutes, while taking Mast was about 15-17 minutes. Going home would be the same for either route, as Mission Gorge will have heavier traffic. I have taken 67 to Poway as a leisure drive on weekend but not sure what it would be like during rush hours.
Right now I’m less concerned about the quality of Rio Seco, as we have no kids. But it’s good to know that it’s so close and that a new building is being constructed. I see parents from Riverwalk just walking their kids to school and that’s great! When we do have kids reaching school age, my wife and I should be able to adjust our work hours so that one can walk them to school in the morning and one can pick them up in the afternoon.
Our cable guy has lived in Santee for over 25 years and he says it’s a very safe town. He says during the day they never lock the doors and never had any problem. He also said that Santee is cooler than San Marcos. It’s hot in the summer but there’s always a breeze blowing, making it much more comfortable. We’ll see about that.
