The new switch arrived by Fed Ex a day earlier than Wayne said. It was simple to install & now is up & running; lets hope for a long time. My thanks to everyone who responded to my post! :)

Hey neighbor! Like you, we finished out basement from end to end (house was built in 2006). Nearby the basement's utility room is a very nice home theater with lots of expensive electronic toys for water to fry! :( We when to the extra cost of insulated concrete form (ICF) type basement to...
