See, if you did, then you would know I have quite a bit of knowledge about homebuilders and construction. You do know that not every builder uses the same subcontractors. It is a bidding process. Sure, some of the same subs are used for different builders, but when they bid too high or do crappy work, then they don't get the bid and another sub will be used. For example, Aliso Air does a majority of the work for the heating and air systems. I know that they did the heating/air at Riverbend and at Paloma. However, at Paloma they didn't use the same tile sub as Hearthside, because the work was clean and very nice. A few settling cracks here and there, but not the gapping holes that will cause mold damage like at Brightwater. StanPac might have used the same tile sub, because the tile work at Mille Fleurs was just as bad as Brightwater. Now, I am charging the battery for my camera, and I will go take pictures of one of Laing's projects and the tile work, then this weekend I will take pictures of the crap at Brightwater. I will also get shots of the quality of the cabinets, and I will post them here for everyone to see. Then, we will all be able to tell who the ignorant one is. A picture can say a thousand words.
As for Feng Shui, I am no expert, but again if you used the search button, <a href="http://forums.irvinehousingblog.com/discussion/768/">you might have found this thread by bkshopr</a>. He gives you a basic idea of what is bad Feng Shui is with the bedroom being underneath the kitchen. <a href="http://forums.irvinehousingblog.com/discussion/577/?Focus=8213#Comment_8213">And, here is his comment about the front and back door</a>. My camera also has video, so I can film the back and/or front door slamming for everyone to see too. I am familiar with Bassenian and Lagoni, while they have won awards for their designs, they are also well know for not being up to par on Feng Shui. We need bkshopr in this thread to give his opinion on the awful Feng Shui of Brightwater.
BTW, spell check is your friend, use it.
<em>A house is a stucco box, but the neighbors make it a community. These are not people I would want as my neighbors, thanks.
</em>No kidding. Too bad they don't get it, and don't realize the more they come off as a-holes, the more and more people see that. Gotta love having this thread at the top of a google search. It helps that I keep mentioning Brightwater and how crappy a high-end project like Brightwater is, because google likes key words like Brightwater in Huntington Beach. You could have just let it go, but oh... no... you had to keep coming back and pushing my buttons. I don't like to lose, and I will go out of my way to prove that I am right on this. No one calls me a liar. This is going to be fun. Hey, did you notice, not once has any other builder come here to defend their community like this? Now we know why.
