    Thanks! I actually have a strong electrical background but mostly DC, although the past many years I have done a bit of industrial AC and home stuff. Fixing things is my trade, and I try to save instead of just replace. It's an uphill struggle.

    Re: Papa- the Palin show was funny, he went to Sloppy Joe's for the contest- wild.

    Not to go too far OT, but I recently read a book on the FECRR and building the run through the Keys, as a lifelong left-coaster, I never knew about this unbelievable engineering feat until I happened to select the book to review.

    Anyway, I picked up a DPDT switch, unfortunately all I could find today was a center off, another lovely feature of small-town life.

    Thanks again, all. I'll post a picture later, now that it blows I find I got to shorten the mast a bit.

    I never switch from downflow, even in the winter, I figure in the winter the downflow brings down the hot air that has risen?
    I looked up Hemingway earlier for the correct spelling of "Papa" and was sad to see his Father, a brother, a sister and Grandaughter, besides himself, all committed Suicide. Sad
    And this was after he moved to Idaho, seems like a long way from the Keys or Cuba.

    The whole family, I never knew that. And Hunter Thompson went in Colorado.. sad indeed.

    I heat my shop with a nasty 200KBTU propane thing, but the hot air just floats up to the 16' ceiling and eventually encourages the air below to warm up a little. Not to mention a serious monoxide layer... It will be interesting to see how this thing can stir it up. I believe I will find you are correct.
