Marble Steakhouse KBBQ was pretty damn good. I guess they were orignally a fancy steakhouse, but that didn't go well? (Does anyone know the story here?) I don't know much about Korean BBQ, but I took my five year old son there and he and I absolutely loved it. I don't think I've ever seen him...

I want some nice built in bookshelves for my office. Any recommendations on companies or contractors, and any idea what it would cost?

BB.Q Chicken is pretty great, love the spicy galbi sauce (and it's not too spicy). Angelina's pizza in Irvine is phenomenal, maybe only bested by Mozza in Newport Beach. I eat here way too much. Hakko's Katsu is one of the few places I feel like I get a good deal these days. It's not cheap...

Things were fire all summer so I didn't even try to look for landscaping.  What is the going rate to do some nice tile, landcaping, pergola, etc without anything crazy like a pool or ornate water feature? I've got maybe 600-800 sq ft of yard space.  Just trying to figure out how much of my...

Add wood paneling/shiplap to a wall, any recommendations for a company that would do this?  Or guesses as to how much it would cost?  I realize people can probably do this themselves, but in our case we have a fireplace and two windows that require some cutting, it's not just as simple as...

I want some more power outlets in my yard, without having to redo the entire thing right now.  Can I generally just hire an electrician to do it?  There are some built in lights scattered throughout, but no actual outlets.

Hello.  I've been a long time lurker here, almost bought Juniper ~2 years ago and decided to bail since my wife got pregnant so requirements changed! I'm thinking we'll probably be looking to move in about a year's time now, so we are starting to wonder how to maximize resale value of our...

I'm interested in a particular model of a new development (in PS) as I have mentioned in my last thread , but I'm not too picky on location other than general direction the house faces.  How much negotiating power do I have to get some incentives?  I have noticed that the quick move in homes...

Hello again everyone, I've been lurking for a while and thought I'd jump into the fray to both contribute and get some questions answered.  :) The situation: After some back and fourth between different home communities and looking at resales in the Irvine/Lake Forest/Tustin Ranch area, my...
