We bought a house 2 years ago. The house is built in 1920s and needs work done on the exterior wall. We are exploring stucco versus siding options. If we go with stucco for one wall, it requires an entire redo that costs about 24k. Siding would most likely be cheaper. For those who have done some renovation work, what are some things you would consider when weighing the options? This is not our forever home and the house is located in the Northeast region to take weather into consideration.

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?
