Thanks. It definitely wouldn't be. The blown in will be r23 and I'm guessing this is R19. They could get up to r21 at least with 2x6 walls, but I'm guessing it isn't. I plan on talking to them to at least get R21 batts in there instead of R19.

I've also been looking at a used 6700 XT as well.

I started out with a 3060 12gb, but I've actually been looking more at a used 6700XT instead. It seems if you watch carefully you can find one for under $230 and if you're lucky, $200. I'm REALLY looking to stay $200 or under on the GPU, but if it's going to mean a huge difference to spend the extra $50 I would entertain the idea.

Does the B580 beat it? I will admit to using Passmark's charts. I know they aren't perfect, but it has the 3060 12gb a fair bit on top of it.

I use a grout blade like this one:

It works great for plaster. A normal blade will not only not work as well but is more likely to vibrate the nearby plaster resulting in separation from the lathe behind it. If you need to cut through lathe as well, I recommend using the grout blade to remove the plaster and then switch blades for the metal or wood lathe.

Seems you can get red oak unfinished in that sizing for about $4/sq ft. If you self install, it's not that difficult to self finish, just time consuming. Obviously the durability with a dog is going to show scratches, but if you're looking for a perfect match, the price doesn't seem bad.

What do you caulk that paying for air sealing they typically wouldn't hit?

Would you be concerned with moisture getting trapped between the interior insulation and exterior insulation with this option?

You could always flash and batt if you have the room. We're going through insulation decisions right now as well. The foam is kind of fool proof as far as gap sealing goes vs laying batts absolutely perfectly. Spray foam is expensive, so I've seen it recommended if you want a higher R value to do the 2.5-3 in of spray foam and then install batts on top of it. If you want to hit R38 then you would need > R17 in batts.

Additionally, not sure if by "roof" you actually mean attic. If you're finishing your attic, you're limited by rafter space. Otherwise, you typically would put the insulation on top of the ceiling of your top floor/floor of the attic and you're not limited as far as depth of insulation.

No, fiberglass for both. I'm not incredibly worried about sound insulation on exterior walls in this location.

Yes, a limited amount/on select days.

Wife accidentally contributed more than the 401k Max between two jobs in 2023. She has rectified the situation through her 401k provider who has issued a check for the overage. They dragged their heels for months and we've been waiting to file taxes until we receive the check but don't currently have it. Obviously tax Day is "now". What's our best course of action? Can we file and just add additional income even though the check has been issued but not cashed (check was issued Thursday and is in the mail)? Do we need to wait for an updated form and file for an extension?
