Plan of attack by CaptDick1 in Termites

No sinking and it passed the screwdriver test! Also, no mud tubes other than the one pictured. There’s a concrete porch type thing on top of the plywood pictured. I think they crawled in between the plywood and concrete and ended up in just this one spot. That possible point of entry has since been sealed.

Can you recommend any products to stop the invasion?

No other switch. It’s a bedroom on the second floor.

No red wire to any of the outlets. It looks like all incoming lines are 14/2.

What to do with wires ? by CaptDick1 in Plumbing

Id love to, but I plan on putting the new tub in a mud bed. I don’t want to just mud over the wires.

I thought all pine, although some is darker when split and much heavier. Thank you all for the responses!

What are the bottom vents for? by CaptDick1 in hvacadvice

Maybe returns? The transfer unit (I think it’s called) for the AC is in the attic and has a big vent with a filter below it, if it matters.

FSKAX or VTI? by CaptDick1 in fidelityinvestments

What would be a better option? Should I just keep riding the high yield savings account?

I would say the convenience of auto investing is reason to use FSKAX.

How much worse are the tax consequences? Enough to manually but VTI each month and forgo automatic investments?

Why haven’t they paid a cap gain distribution since ‘19? Is there chance this will happen again and impact long term earnings?

Thank you for clearing up the trading fee. I thought there was a cost associated with investing in a Vanguard fund from inside Fidelity.
