dang, in checking....we've moved back down to 6th again. Apparently, Hearthside is doing their part as well .....but at least we're giving them some work to do!
 
There are 2 fatal deaths in Feng Shui without remedy. A house built on burial site and adjacency to a cemetery. Few Asian homebuyers bought resale due to potential calamity occurrences in older homes. Asians contributed to the success of Irvine by buying new homes.



Bassenian Lagoni Architects are not exactly the best architects. They plagiarized designs from Robert Hidey and Scheuer Architects over the last 15 years. Aram Bassenian used to preached that there were only 6 floor plans existed in production housing during his hey days in the 80’s. He was the reason why Irvine has the reputation of pink stucco boxes and 3 car garage doors at every front elevation. He stole architectural details and court yard ideas and beat everybody else to publishing 3 successful books displaying ideas he stole from others and claiming them as his thoughtful inventions. The books are “true California”, “Andalusian and Tuscany Reflections” and “House and Courtyards” This firm is well known for designing floor plans that does not match the spirit of the exterior. It is like designing a Disneyland façade without any consideration of the function behind it. This firm has no integrity in coming up with its own designs but plagiarized other successful architects.



The spirit of Blightwater is traditional, craftsman, and Victorian. The floor plans with courtyard are distinctively Asiatic, Mediterranean and early California Mission. The elevations do not embody the spirit of the plan. It is a “cross dresser” of architecture. All traditional, craftsman and Victorian were style developed for compact plan configuration and the focus were extended to the outdoor gardens along the perimeter of the homes with no internal courtyards. The roof forms having to negotiate the complexity of the plans lost its beauty and character of simplicity. The underlining beauties of these 3 styles are simple roofs with intricate made parts in the factories to adorn the Victorians, The use of brick and wood sidings reflecting the artisan Yankee workshop joinery details made the traditional style home like a piece of fine furniture, and lastly the Craftsman expressed the Asian wood joinery aesthetic without the use of metal fasteners and promoted the idea of a blurred indoor and outdoor relationship by even having screened outdoor sleeping porches designed for people with respiratory illnesses (a practice to heal people with TB during the 1900’s that drove many wealthy easterners building custom winter homes in Santa Barbara and Pasadena like the Gamble family). The homes with the so called style missed the spirit of the facades.



Hearthside Homes was responsible for the majority of the mess in Aliso Viejo during the 80’s and 90’s. Its CEO Katherine Thompson decided to expand building homes on the behalf of our government. These homes house a majority of my childhood neighbors. They are called prison. The quality is top notch with solid concrete grout concrete block with a lifetime warranty on the decorative steel wrought iron grilles called bars. She built homes that last and house many generations of criminals.



The current members of the Hearthside Homes were the older folks of the Mission Viejo Company during the late 70’s and 80’s. They are well known for counting house corners and saving nails rather than good design. They took production housing to a whole different level by counting the sheet s of plywood, number of nails used and linear board feet of lumber used fell short in delivering the creativity of design.



It is true that many builders utilize the similar sub trades for products and labor. Within the subcontractor industries there are “A” teams that have been with the company for a while and knew the drills. There are unfortunately “D” teams also recruited recently from the diminishing strawberry fields in Irvine. Tom Redwitz of Laing Luxury demands the best from his subs and rejects any works not performed well under his meticulous eyes. This also hold true for the anal Gary Carlson of Standard Pacific who insisted every slots of screws for every light switch and outlet plates have to be up and down. He also will not accept second best from the same subs. It is not true that the same sub contractors produce the same level of works. The same also holds for architectural firms. Majority of the products from Bassenian Lagoni are really crappy and are built in the Inland Empire or in Sacramento executed by the “D” team designers. This firm is a production home factory and the product only as good as it gets from conveyor belt of an assembly line.



I have not even begun to talk about the plans yet so stay tune for more Graphrix bashings.
 
What is all this I've been hearing about a place called Brightwater at Huntington Beach? Is there any place to cycle around Brightwater in Huntington Beach? Or does Brightwater in Huntington Beach not cater to roadies?
 
<p>Brightwater in Huntington Beach caters to roadies. Of course, they prefer the roadie that thinks roadie means driving a Hummer in Orange County.</p>

<p>Otherwise, the bike trail runs right along PCH and the beach from the corner of Warner & PCH all the way back to the ferry on the Pin which will take you back to Balboa island and then back to the back bay loop. Crossing PCH @ Warner has at least a 99.9% survival rating for a bicyclist.</p>

I can't really speak for him, but I have been known to be motivated by spite on more than one occasion.

Sorry I missed all the action. And since this thread is getting too long and it's late. And I am too lazy to trace back at all the postings. But from looking at the pics graphrix provided. I could have sworn this used to be a marsh land or at least the project "Brightwater at Huntington Beach" is very near one. Am I wrong?
 
<em>graphix - if some troll didnt call you a liar, would you have gone through all this?





</em>Probably not, but like EvaL said, I am motivated by spite. For over two years now, I have been considered the chicken little, pollyanna, nutter. Well, I have been right, and actually, I have been too optimistic. I believe I am a credible person, and my posts and my knowledge have proven that. Really it seems I am bitter, but really I am not. You can ask anyone here who knows me here, and they will all say that I am a bright, outgoing, positive, and an optimistic person. So, when someone questions that, I take offense and go on the defense. I like a good challenge, but I also expect that the same credibility be said from the source of criticism. Hey, when I am wrong, I will be the bigger person and admit it. In fact, I have done it on more than one occasion on Lansner's and Padilla's blog. But, do not call me a liar when you know that you are wrong, and can be proven wrong. Ask reason, I am sure he remembers the pictures I took for him way back in the day. And, guess what, I was wrong that the pic was not the same place, but I was right that the address was correct. BTW, reason one of those CalPac homes went back to the bank, and another one is scheduled for next month.





Now! On with the pictures. I took 74 pictures of all the bad cracks, and I have 64 that are decent pics. It is hard to get a clean picture with reflective surfaces, like tile. So, for a tease tonight, I will post some of my favorites, that are shrunk to fit the forums, and later I will post links to the full size images of all 64. When I went to Laing's Sendero, I only took 21 shots, because there were not that many cracks. Looks like BK is also right again, and <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=brightwater+huntington+beach">Brightwater in Huntington Beach</a> used the "D" team. Feel free to click the link to the forums for boost up in google.

I wish I had a better shot of this one below. The grout at the ceiling goes from being less than a quarter inch thick to over half an inch at the end where the crack is. And, if you look at it straight on, then you can see how the tile work slopes downward. They obviously forgot their level that day, as I will prove soon.

This gapping hole was amazing.

Here is a shot of the inside of the shower. Notice the bubble of the level is away from the drain, this means it is sloped so that the water will flow to the drain.

Now, notice how the bubble of the level is away from the crack, meaning it is sloped so that the water will flow into the crack.

Just think... these are the models, and they are supposed to impress you, not scare you. Yes, you can have them fix issues like this before you move in, but this is not normal, this is excessive, and some of these mistakes require a full redo of the tile since it is so out of balance.





I must have wiped correctly that day, as I didn't notice the smell. Or, maybe it is because I only visited the sands and the trails
