my house is in Del Mar, south of spanish springs. it is stick built. I cannot find the water shut off valve (in or near the house). The only one I have is at the curb near the meter. has anyone else had this problem?

Yes. I had it in a house built in 1990. Had 4 different plumbers give me a quote. 2 said they wouldn't touch the job. 2 estimated the job to be $6K. Stick-built home. Problem was pitting in copper pipes. Shut off valve was buried under landscaping at the right front of the house (with entry on the left side). Sold the house. It has since sold a 2nd time for what looked like at $25K profit.
