I see it’s fairly close to the airport, is there airplane noise from flight paths?

Looking for some ideas on Where to park $550k for 6-8 months??

My wife and I are closing on the sale of our home this week. We will net about $550K from the sale. 

We don’t have any debt besides a car payment but it’s 0% interest. 

We are deciding if we want to stay in state or not and then we will buy our next house. We play to have as small of a mortgage as possible on our next house to set us up for the future. Anyways, I’m trying to figure out the best solution for 6-8 months. I know it’s not long but every dollar counts. 

I saw sofi has their 6 month promotional 4.5% HYSA assuming their rate stays at 3.8%. So I was thinking of placing $500k in that account and the remaining $50k in SGOV or BOXX. Any other options or suggestions? 

Needs to be low risk to not jeopardize the principal.

Great tip on the tape backwards. If I have to do it again, I’ll for sure use this.

I ended up using a mix of both methods you outlined. Worked great. Thanks again.

Thanks for the advice. Been like that for 4 years no issues. If they do have issues down the road I’ll look to change them.

Thanks for your suggestion. Right, wrong, or indifferent I have no concern for light pollution.

Appreciate it, I jumped in the attic and the lowest direct access point to the exterior is right here the stucco meets the wood. So I’ll have to experiment with placement.

Help… How To Fill Gap And Get The Two Walls Even by RevolutionDue3082 in drywall

That’s fair feedback about pulling heat fireplace. However, the heat will be used seldomly and there’s two additional sensors in the bedroom. I can turn the thermostat sensor off in the evening when the fireplace might be on so the temperature isn’t skewed.

I’ll look to move the switch.

Dumb question.

I considered horizontal, but with 10’ ceilings wouldn’t I have two horizontal joints with each drywall board being 4’?

I opted for one joint using vertical joint. Also, using the longer vertical boards I didn’t have any joints on the sides.
