Re: [MBZ] OT Stock Market

Agreed. The house we built here in 1996 did not have adequate attic ventilation, and as a result the roof had a considerably shorter life. We had neighbors replacing roofs at 10-12 years. I was out of the house by then, but when I moved back down here one of the first things I did was calculate

Absolutely. I’ve lived in the GWN so I know all too well about excess humidity in a house with a tight envelope. The house we built in Wisconsin had an air to air heat exchanger for just that reason. I would still do it on the ceiling/attic surface no matter what, as that’s an area where you’re

Correct, stocks are going on sale. I think wait another week or so, then dollar cost average back in, depending if it looks like a bottom. If the indices fall more than 10%, I'll buy a little. If they drop to 25%, buy some more. If we hit a 50% major bear, then all my cash and savings go in.
