Hello Folks,

I have a opinion question for you.  I have a '91 Nissan 4 Cyl pickup truck
that is coming due for the major 30k service.  I've dealt with dealer
and independent services before and it can be a very unsavory experience.

Can anyone recommend a southbay service that won't ruin my day when I have
the 30k done?? Also, what is entailed in the major?? do they adjust the
valves....I was real uncomfortable letting this thing go that long...I've
changed the oil every 3k and rotate the tires and changed the air filter
once, but that is it.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Mitch.

If the soils report was part of the investigation for purchase, you will
probably find that no bank will loan you money unless you fix the problem.
Now, pray tell, just how do you propose to sink 8 foot reinforced piers
by yourself?  You aren't going to mix 11 yards of concrete by hand... and you
probably don't have the jacks and steel beams it will take to support the
house while you dig a hole under it and build the piers.

My guess is that the slope is just dirt that was pushed over the side when
the flat part of the foundation was graded.  You MUST get below that with
the piers.  I can show you some nice houses in Los Altos Hills that slipped
when we had the last big rains in 1985 or 1986.

Use the soils report as a negotiating point, and get the seller to absorb
most of the cost.

I intend to develop a piece of land in the Santa Cruz mountains above Los Gatos, and
need some advice on professionals. Specifically, I am looking for recommendations on
a Civil Engineer to develop a driveway, a well company, a surveyor, and a building
designer. I am trying to stay away from large professional firms, and use individuals
if possible, who are sensitive to the environmental conditions in the mountains. Any
recommendations you could make either positive or negative would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What are the consequences in Santa Cruz county of buying a home that
has had some work done without a permit?  

I'm looking at homes in the San Lorenzo valley, and I've been told by
agents that it is not unusual for some owners to build an addition to
their home without a permit.  I assume that it is not a problem unless
in the future, I want to apply for a permit and then find that the old
work is not up to code.

Of course, before buying, I would get the property inspected.  I just
don't want to have to tear down a garage, or redo a deck because there
wasn't a permit, and I probably don't want to go through the hassle of
applying for a variance for work that some previous owner did.

Thanks,

Highly variable.  Depends on the weather.  I have been there November
where it was warm and clear with some ice on trails.  Other times its snowed
heavily (but not enough to ski.  Bring chains.

Been there this holiday since 1970.  It has grown extremely popular during
this season.  Beware driving hazards on the roads: ice, other cars.
Activities very smoky.  Probably 90% of the reservations are already booked
if not 100%.  You might have to look outside the Park.

You can get a "tent cabin" (a tent with beds) for about that much.  The lodge
is probably twice as much and the hotel may be 4 times as much.  Most people
camp, with sites going for $10 to $12 per night.

Get "The Yosemite" by John Muir or "Yosemite" by Jeff Schafer.

November is probably too early for skiing.

Snow is possible, though not likely in November, at least at the lower
elevations like Yosemite Valley.

Horror Story #871

 A friend that I worked with was actually able to buy a complete house
that was built without permits (un-knowingly) in the SC Mountains. This 
was a nice house and somehow slipped through the cracks - only temporarly. 
He was going to add a bedroom and called the county in to get permits. At 
*this* point they found out that there were no permits for the house at all. 
After penalities and all (which they did add in) the bill was about 
$20,000.00, yup 20 grand! He appealed in court - lost once and went again. 
Never heard the outcome of the second try since we both moved on to different 
jobs. Talk about a the *shaft*!

What I hear is that they will fine you and make you bring the work up to
code *if* they find out. They way that they usually find out is by a neighbor
who files a complaint - so don't piss off the neighbors or they may decide
to piss on you. Also - the insurance company will not rebuild (pay a loss 
on) non-permitted work (quake/fire loss).

I think what he means is that due to everyone in the campgrounds building
a campfire, the Valley gets incredibly smoky.  I know I usually start getting
a sore throat by the end of our first day in the campgrounds, but I've been
one of the guilty parties so I can't complain.  :-(  They probably should
just put a ban on all campfires in the Valley.

Sublet available in the hills of Los Gatos:

2 BR cabin, furnished or not. Rustic, yet charming.  Remote, yet convenient.
Located 1.5 mi from Hwy 17 in Chemekeeta park, which is S of Lexington 
Resevoir, and  about 5 mi. from the center of Los Gatos.  It's also only 
15 mi. to the beaches in Santa Cruz, and there's a scenic "back way" that 
bicyclists use to go to Soquel.  You can walk or bike a trail all the way to 
downtown Los Gatos from the resevoir, which is about 3 mi. away.

The cabin is a converted barn, and has a living room , dining room, kitchen, 
bedroom and bathroom downstairs and a larger bedroom upstairs. 

Available: Oct 1 through at least Jan 1, and perhaps longer.

$850/month, plus your electric, plus a damage deposit.

If interested, email me.
