    Metal Remodel box?

    Pancake box Can a pancake box be attached directly to a ceiling TG (wood)when hanging a pendent light and have it be OK from a code perspective. The ground wire screw would be screwed through the pancake box.

    Explain something to me

    Ballvale Yes he wants to keep it as simple as possible no pressure tank. Are you saying he is safe if the installer uses a pump delay circuit? or If he doesnt use pump circuit delay that a 7$ pressure relief valve is all the insurance he would need. Again I want to make sure...

    The pump is over 20 years old....My pop has had it serviced in the past...Would the high temperature cut out switch or pressure valve be something he could have added on @ the shop that services this pump? Or is this even neccessary if the pump can be actuated with the valve? And what...

    Start Pump Relay

    You think! Yes for sure I'am I'm on the same page for doing the timer, only difference is why not go with the one Valveman recommends as it has the optionality to support zoning down the road . Seems like it would wiser to go with a product that has this capability now vs having to have buy...

    Start Pump Relay

    Sounds like adding the battery operated programmable bib valve would be more cumbersome than simply adding the controller for my single zone application..I cant see any reason until he decides to create multiple zones to add the pressure tan/switch/cycle stop valve @ this time, do you? Now 3...

    Start Pump Relay

    Now its all coming together! The timer I listed and the one you listed will do both open turn on the pump and control the solenoid's if he decided to "zone" the system down the road. However because he will be operating just a single zone e.g. sprinkler @ this time the pump tank is not...

    Why is a irrigation controller neccessary if I simply want to turn the pump off and on....I thought irrigation controller was necessary to turn off and on multiple zones. Do they not make a start pump relay with a timer built in? Sorry I need this really "dumbed down" so I'm on the same...

    How best to dehumidify basement?

    I'm with you up until the paint . Most paints do not have a low enough perm rating for this to be a concern, unless you buy one that specfically is designated as such e.g, vapor retarding paint. I do like you point of foaming any seams after installing the XPS....This is often over looked...
