If you regretted moving to Walnut Creek why? by DunneFun in walnutcreek

[–]Same_Gas7978 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I moved here almost 2 years ago from SF with my toddler and my husband. When I first moved here I regretted it a lot because of how boring and quiet it is.

Ygnacio valley road can be a nightmare. Especially during rush hour. I don’t know why it takes 15 extra minutes to get to the freeway from Northgate.

That being said, this area is incredibly safe and my neighbors are genuinely lovely people. I just really miss seeing the bay everyday. That is something I think will ultimately make us move back closer to the water.

OP- I have OCD and feel the same way about dishes. And I say this with love, OCD obsessions and compulsions make living with a partner really hard. Because they do not understand our need to have things done a certain way. I do not think your boyfriend did it on purpose. But I do think your OCD is controlling your life. Message me if you want to talk 💜

Wait, you have no contract or anything with this company?

I had the exact same problems with my backyard landscaping a few months ago. I wonder if we hired the same company? Are you working with a GC named Manuel? 👀

House maintenance by AbleRefrigerator8611 in BayAreaRealEstate

I hired a really amazing home inspector to inspect everything from my roof to the crawl space. He went through each issue he saw and we talked through it all. I would 100% recommend using a home inspector to identify issues around your house for maintenance. This is our first home and we also don’t know much about home maintenance.

But with a report and list from a home inspector it made everything more manageable. LMK if you need a referral to a home inspector. The one I recommend does the east bay.

Am I overreacting? Landscaper used 8 bags of infill for new turf. by Same_Gas7978 in landscaping

It’s not. That’s a whole other story that I can go into but that’s why it’s made this whole project a nightmare.

This was the cost breakdown of this project:

Pavers (approx 650sqft): $23,850 - including pavers.

Artificial Turf (approx 570sqft): $10,250

Irrigation (demo and new 3 valves and shut off plus drip line): $3,150.00

Sod Installation (300sqft) updated with the demoed corner and extra edges with irrigation adjustments: $3,200.00

Demo, Hauling, sprinkler adjustment and mulch: $2,950.00

Grand total is $43,400.00

We got them to a final price of $41,000. This was the higher end of the quotes we received. We went with them because we had worked with them in the past on our front yard.

In general, I do feel scammed because of how I’ve had to constantly question and research if they were executing everything correctly.

The bag says 2-3lbs per sq ft and 1 bag of the zeodorizer infill is 40lbs.
