48 inch built-in refrigerator

Posted by lsumed on 11/17/23 at 3:38 pm
Looking for creative solutions.

We have a 48-inch built in GE profile refrigerator with nice cabinets built around it. Have tried everything to repair it, but it needs a new control board which is no longer made by GE. At this point I am looking at just getting new fridge, but any built-in this size costs minimum 10k. While I like the look, we certainly need just basic refrigeration and can't pay 10k. Is there anything I can do for 2k or less that can fit in this space?

preventing freezing pipes

We will be out of town for the incoming freeze, and I plan on turning off main water supply to home and draining the system.

Have a tankless water heater in the attic. Should I turn off the tankless heater while the water is drained? Anything else to consider? Thanks in advance.

leak at base of toilet

Noticed this discoloration of wood at base of toilet. I think it has to be a leak from bad wax ring? Although it does not feel wet at all around the base or in the crawl space under the toilet.

START 529 K-12

I have a fair understanding of traditional college 529. What is the consensus on utilizing the START K-12 program?

As I understand it,

-there are no upfront tax breaks (although this may be changing in 2022?).
-any gains are exempt from federal (and state?) tax if used for approved private schools in Louisiana
-maximum 10k withdrawal per year (is this per child or total?)
-maximum total 180k deposit for all children
- can roll funds into traditional college 529 when child graduates high school

I assume, although have not seen it written, that you can withdraw your principal at anytime without penalty?

This seems like a no-brainer if you have kids in private school in LA, but have not talked to anyone personally who has used it.

Appreciate any comments.

Curious if anyone else is planning on contributing to this program for 2018?
