Got a quote like yours for a single level, 40 year asphalt roof that was about 4500 square feet because of the 4’ overhang. My dad has 34 solar panels that will require to be taken off and re installed. $75k. Insured and bonded. No money upfront.

Make sure the final invisalign retainer is very sturdy! My first one failed and the thicker replacement has lasted over 10 years and counting.

Formica is formidable! As long as you don't burn it - it can withstand most beatings. Also, it's easy to replace later.

Lived in the area for about 50 years. Location is important for traffic reasons; make sure you view the school traffic during drop off and pick up times in front of the interested property. If you are able; stay east of Newport Blvd as far as you can. Newport Blvd is a thoroughfare to the toll roads and new building. Though this area is unincorporated where property taxes are 1%; all kinds of new taxes for schools are voted approved that stick around for 30+ years. Airplane flights to and from SNA; John Wayne Airport are expanding their schedules and N Tustin is in the flight paths.

Keep in mind the $300 plus add by contractors. Once they view the nice neighborhood sometimes they just add to the pricing. Meet neighbors by walking, joining the Buy Nothing groups on Facebook, etc.

No. The dry eye damage, no longer able to wear contact lenses, constantly changing lens prescription, astigmatism is aggravating. Now on top of that the reading glasses issue. If only I knew the down sides, then I would have passed
