    The switch I bought today won’t work. I have to have a reversing switch. I tried to ground the motor and one wire on hot and it wouldn’t move. I’ll pick this one up tomorrow.

    The gulf has been hammered this hurricane season. I hate it for everyone! Stay safe down there!!!

    We are supposed to get 3 1/4" of rain from the storm over Saturday and Sunday up here in N.C.

    Audible on the vacuum mount. I messed with mounting it to the handle yesterday but it has to much throw and not enough room. I’m moving it to the side and will attach it where the red is and see what happens.

    Little plastic tab broke off of the holder for a socket set. Boss man drew it up and 3D printed one.
