The main floor has a powder room for guests.

Might be time to keep the powder dry.

PVC frames will be cheaper but powder coated aluminum will last longer and don't warp. 

Since it came from more than one person, I wanted to address it and spent 2 weeks cleaning it - disassembling the front door of the oven, cleaning the glass surface and putting it back, cleaning the oven rack, cleaning the stovetop with bleaching powder, soap, blade. 

I put boric acid powder around the entire perimeter of the inside of the house and it pretty much wiped the scorpions out and kept them from coming back, but then a couple started to emerge but nothing like it was before.

But then again, sometimes the smallest clue in REI will alert one to keep their powder dry.

Knowing that a) we do have the ability to withdraw contributions tax-free, and b) we have been keeping some "powder dry" lately due to general market conditions, what are the group's thoughts on withdrawing some/all of our contributions for REI use?

If you have 100k in dry powder, that can get you a 300-400k budget easily for a BRRRR deal once you leverage. 

I hope this doesn’t sound too harsh, but this current pandemic is laying bare the fact that if you do not have ample cash reserves, you’re finished, because you are over-extended and have a good bit of hiney showing.You should not only be able to muster 20% down, but have $30K in dry powder.
