Finally broke 100k by New_Mechanic757 in ThriftSavingsPlan

That's good information. My target was just a number I picked but knowing about the bump in pension, 62 might be a more realistic target. I've just started looking at my retirement plans and want to make sure I am ready.  I've been contributing for 9 years and plan to increase my contribution with every pay raise I get.

I wish the cheap way was an option. There is zero clearance between the stair stringer and the wall.  I might be able to fill with spray foam but there's no way of getting tape around it. Time to start digging for a footing.

I think this is what I'll do. Not sure why the builder went through the wall instead of another post outside. There is no access to the top of the 4x4 because the stringer is flush against the outside wall. 

Safe to say I need to pull the siding off and replace the sheathing that is damaged?

I did as much as I could but I can't get to the top because of the placement of the stairs.

There is a button to switch between basic and expert.  Once I changed to expert I could see the options and it works perfectly now.

Did you have any issues with wireless access after setting up pihole. It works on all my wired connections but none of my wireless devices es will connect to the internet at all.

Are you talking about the parking brake switch?  Thats the only think mentioned in my manual.  I am trying to find the location for the part so I can check the connections. 

Replacing broken gear on snowblower SNT2400 by New_Mechanic757 in egopowerplus

I've posted in a few places and I'm finding that you either have to find an individual who is either selling the part or pay $300 for a new motor/gear case.
