It happened. Middle class inflation and cost increases, child care changed, Lupus,
multiple sudden major house maintenance items finally caught up to my family’s stagnant income.

For the time being I think we are going to have to pull back on maxing my 401k to just meeting the match to catch up with all the issues that have come up.

In order to replenish the reserves so another major house item doesn’t cripple my family we will need to pull back on investments and that really bums me out.

Anyone else going through this right now and can relate?

I have what I would describe as a faint sour smell I only smell in my living room.

The smell is not present in the basement below, or in the bedrooms above . There is no bathroom/plumbing above or below.

I have a couch and throw rug in this room which I suspected but when I bury my nose into these surfaces the smell does not intensify or become noticeable.

At this point I am puzzled. My walls and ceiling show no signs of moisture ( no bumbling or peeling paint, no splotchiness, no signs of water).

My wife says she can not smell it, but I do, and it’s only in this room.

Any additional tips on what it might be/what to look for?

Looking for opinions from current staff members. I received an offer on the table to join Princeton in FP&A and am comparing with another non academic role offer I have.

From current staff perspective, how’s the current feeling internally? How’s the culture? Do staff roles have hybrid work arrangements or is it full time in person?

I bought a dehumidifier earlier this week and have been running it in my basement non stop after realizing the humidity was quite high.

I plan on hooking it up to auto drain eventually but for now I am manually draining it when full, I work from home so it’s really not a problem right now. I was also more curious to see how much it filled up.

This thing is filling up 3 times a day ( probably dumping 15-20 pints manually) I’ve never had a clear water issue in my basement, but clearly the humidity is super high.

The dehumidifier however is struggling to drop the area below 55 humidity. Clearly it’s working given the amount of water coming out, but do most people struggle to drop below these levels in the summer?

I have one wall on my house that has a brick veneer instead of siding .

It got me wondering, how are these actually attached physically to the house?

Has anyone had a permit in the Cherry hill township lately? How long did it take to be issued from submitted for you?

Hi All-

I am trying to figure out what a safe range for drywall moisture readings are. I keep finding conflicting info online.

Is there a recommended range that is considered normal or safe? Obviously the lower the better but trying to figure out what’s actually appropriate

Rheumatologists, do you put much stock in Low CH50 in the absence of abnormal C3/C4 or just assume it’s some sort of classical pathway deficiency ?
