I would buy there now. Nice area. Kinda reminds me of San Elijo Hills, but better. It will take a while to build out the infrastructure of markets, etc. The completion of the 76 will sure help with traffic in the future.

Removing panels to reroof if under a solar lease might be very expensive as it it under their terms.

Composite roofing is not all that much to replace. Easier now than later.

Also, if the roof is already worn the guys walking on it to install solar might cause it to leak.

Be sure the installers have the proper roofer license as they will be drilling into the roof and again, you don’t want leaks.

guess it really depends on how long you plan to live there.

What brand/watt panels are you looking at? How many panels?

[Hobie]

Are you in San Diego? Are you confusing rebate with tax credit? California Solar Inititave rebates $.20/watt. Doubt the new roof would work for fed tax credit.

I don’t think an ARC request can be denied on grounds that one signature is missing. The signature is more of a form of notice rather compliance with the CC&R or bylaws.

Submit the ARC form noting conforming building materials with the two signatures. You may be pleasantly surprised.

The HOA is most likely just responding to the complaint from your dick neighbor. He himself may also be an ongoing problem in the community.

Can’t see it being denied.

One thing though. You say it it build on a slope. Maybe the neighbor is fearing it may fall? I would include foundation details in your ARC addressing this as well.

Let us know how it works out.

[Hobie]

I would respond in writing noting that this is a temp structure therefore not covered by the ARC permit. And that it conforms to aesthetics being natural wood etc.

If they persist, then it’s time to let the board know you will be reviewing every single property for compliance and matching ARC approval. You will find not everyone obtained ARC review so you plan is ‘selective enforcement’.

And I might add, this will run the meter for the management company with your requests for action.

Of course, you ‘might’ be concerned with security and need to install a bright dusk/dawn light on that side of the house. 🙂 Time to have fun.

Kev,put another way:
1. You pick the woman, not the other way around.
2. She is showing her cards on how she will deal with major life issues if you continue w/her. Your call.

and +1 to njtosd. funny while very true.

Oh if you have the talk. I suggest not listing all the reasons. It gives the impression you are open to negotiation. Just a simple sorry, and make the exit. Make a decision and be firm in your resolve. Like business.

[Hobie]

Are you living together? Makes it a bit tougher. Dude. Man up! If your gut is telling you no, go with it. You are tangentially suggesting she may be crazy so even more reason to get out before kids and halving your net worth. Still luv ya dude 🙂

Is the island a original builder install or an add on remodel item?

Remodel job may have cut the slab and used plastic pipe(PEX). Easier to fix than thru slab piping.

Do you have an additional kitchen sink? If so, cap the hot water to the island and just run cold.

Re-piping the whole house is probably not necessary. Just the failed section.

What exactly ‘burst’? Is it a fast leak, or seepage? If slow leak may look into epoxy coating the interior.

Better yet… have a Pigg House Lottery!

Same deal as the McHouse but we pick some house in SD, or better yet some pigg mansion, collect the $$, fail to meet the min number to let the house go, and run a small raffle for the $100 second and third price runner up ‘winners’. Have big party later!! Woo hoo!

1 Opting in may put you on the hook for the upfront costs even if they decide to not start a class action.

2 Let them do the ‘inspection’ and give you a copy. ..Before opting in.

3 Code violations? Any current damages?

House seemed to work fine for 7 years, pass pre-purchase inspection and no realtor disclosed problems. Hmm. Like to know more about the actual problems driving this. Have you considered approaching the builder directly?

good read here:

“The statutes of limitations are shorter than ten years for the following building standards found in California Civil Code Section 896:

Plumbing and sewer systems must operate properly and not materially impair the use of the structure by their inhabitants: four years from close of escrow.”

It also matters if you pocket the profit or reinvest it in another investment property.

I vote drywall. cheap, easy, clean. Ok for ply ($$), but no on pallets. You need to have no gaps to keep mice out of the wall.

[quote=].. it’s the secret. This guy is a whack job. [/quote]

1. Not much to disagree here. 2. Video editing can sure sway true facts. 3. Was the wifes mom in similar situation losing home. 4. Guy did build a ~25 guy operation at one time. 5. Guy was trying to get senior level construction jobs after the crash. Wife was not able to even get a retail job.

A guys point of view here. Industry changed and he was left behind. Either didn’t see it, or refused to change. She, rather than emotionally support him, further pulled out the carpet. My guess here is she was a constant nag hence the secret motorcycle and possible the desert bikes and toyhauler to get away from her. She didn’t strike me as bringing a lot of compassion, support, usderstanding, love to the mix.

Feel for the kids. Note, my facts may be off as I only quick reviewed the show. Also, wonder how they were even targeted by Dateline. Was this wifes doing? Maybe Housewives of OC rejected her.

Tuck your surveillance dvd in an old paper and leave it out for him to steal. If this fails, then what Mike said.
