How about an area on the wall where the base board bows out a little bit? I know that behind the dry wall there is a pipe that was not installed as flush with the wall. I made a note in my punch list but I think they ignored it since there it bows out a little bit. I will bring it up during the walk through, but I'm not sure if that is something that will be addressed. It's worth a shot I suppose.

Another one that lnc showed me was making sure the garage door bottom is flush with the driveway floor. You don't want any gaps because rodents could squeeze into your house.

Thanks for the tips everyone!

Just one more thing to add.  When you have a chance, turn all the faucets full on and let the water run continuously for at least 20 to 30 min, then inspect the entire house for any leakage.

Just last week, there's a big commercial truck with the sign Water Damage and Restoration park in front one of the new home that just closed 3 month ago with several IP's customer service guys running in and out.  Don't know what happen but this must be quite the bummer.

Actually not rodents but a lot of crickets will move in into your new home.  I haven't heard any rodent problem in CV but we have tons of rabbit/hare here. But once our FCB neighbors move in, for some reason they all disappeared.

Drove around here today, passed by Laurel but didn't look at the models.

They should have just called it Woodbury South.

It's bad feng shui to call it South.  Woodbury West ... now that has a ring to it.

Woodbury Village? Woodbury Pointe? Woodbury Square?

But the swimming pool in the summer is just unusable because soooo many people are packed into such a small pool.  The stink eye from certain folks are just crazy cause they see too many aZn in the pool.  Not to mention the openly racist comments they make while sitting in the spa.

Anyhow that's Woodbridge.  I can only hope that CV will be different.

Are you saying residents in Woodbridge are opening racist and actually make racist comments?  What do these people say?  Have you confronted these racists and told them off?

Am I going to confront a bunch of half drunk men in the middle of the night for racist comments?  Nope. 

But if I knew where those people lived would I write a petition to the association describing their inappropriate behavior?  Yup.

Didn't know it was in the middle of the night with drunk men.  I would call the police immediately if this was the situation.  This is a hate crime that should be promptly reported and filed.  This is so sad and pitiful that this kind of stuff still happens so openly and brazenly, especially in Irvine.

@AA - what makes you say especially in irvine?  There's racist folks everywhere and from what I understand plenty of racist Chinese folks here in irvine too.

Was at lunch today and a coworker was mentioning how his friends who are white were complaining about all the Persians in south county.

@qwerty - I'm sure there are racists of every color, but usually "non-white" racists don't openly and brazenly just spew out racist comments as it was described by ZeroLot.  Typically, whites are much more open and vocal about their racism/bigotry and are not afraid to let you know that you are not wanted here.  Just like your co-workers' comments about Persians.

I don't know about that...non-Whites are can be pretty vocal about their racism....they just say it in their own language and in environment where they don't think others will understand or hear them. 

Asians are pretty racist...especially against Blacks.

I would agree with you that recent immigrants from Asia that are very new to the United States (can't speak the language/educated in their homeland) are more racist towards others.  But Asians/minorities that have lived here and speak the English language (educated here) are not for the most part racist.  They actually, like myself, prefer diversity and are inclusive.  If you compare apples to apples (e.g. minorities that have lived and were educated here vs. whites of the same), you will find more whites have racial intolerance (you have heard of "white flight", right?).

I think you're describing a generational thing.  Younger generation regardless of race are much more tolerant and accepting of other races.  Older generations are not.

I guess I wasn't the only one that complained back in WB.  The association stepped in and sent notice to the party house that likes to "ching chong ling long" aZns as they were walking by and the tenants were eventually booted.

As for the swimming pool & jacuzzi, it was shut down for over 6 months because of drunk people hanging out at night.  Now it's only opened during summer months and I see a WB truck drive by to make sure everyone is respecting the closing hours of the pool.

So writing to the association helps.  Now if I can just get Cypress Village to replace the dying trees in front of my yard since no one is watering them.

I would have also called the police to report this as a hate crime.  These idiots need to understand and be warned that racism and bigotry will not be tolerated.

The police?  Really?  what was the crime?  was there some incitement to violence that was left unsaid?

Otherwise, you just need to man/woman up and realize that the world can be unpleasant sometimes, even in Irvine
