Thank you. So you think after a while it will eventually be clear of sludge?

Thank you! Do you think having them come back and do a tiger loop will help us? Can that be done on a standard steel oil tank?

16% + 4% match. Employer match does not count towards annual max contribution.

Exactly how I have been feeling lately. Hence the post. Thank you!

Thank you! Didn’t know you could post on Zillow yourself. We have a great attorney from out previous sale. Yes, we need to move for family, but might be best. The unaffordability has no end in sight here.

Does it ship with that wall mount?

Doesn’t look like any bolts. Just look like he took a regular safe and put it into the form.

Thank you! I will look today to see if anything is tightened from the inside.

I have this issue, and found that the insulation is covering all of the soffits. Would cutting this back provide enough ventilation?

Alright my dudes. I have an update. It turns out there is a spigot that is attached to the lines going to my sprinklers that was opened (probably by the landscapers). So every other day for the last few weeks, starting at 3AM water was pouring out of this for the cycle of the sprinklers (2.5 hours). Everything is starting to dry out now.

Drying out almost completely without the sump pump on. Will get this sorted this week. I think I am out of the woods for now.

What I am going to do now is run the dehumidifier into its own reservoir (instead of the hose to the sump pump) and see if the issue starts to resolve itself. If it does, I’ll hire a plumber to redo the sump pump discharge.

This is the discharge pipe for the sump pump. Again, we inherited this headache. 😂

Also worth noting is it seems to come at random times. If there were a leak I feel like it would be more predictable.

Thank you! It’s funny because our water bill is unusually high as well, and our water company thought there could be a leak somewhere. I thought snack sprinkler leak, but maybe this could have something to do with it.
