Tony, welcome to the Stovebolt Page. You could not have chosen a better web site. Knowledge and great folks abound here on the Bolt.
Since this is the Welcome Centre may I suggest asking all your questions in the most appropriate forum for best results....but don't worry, if a moderator thinks it would be better in another place they move it for you.
Maybe ask in the General or Electrical forum for solutions to your problem. Take your time, learn your way around the bolt. There is so much here.
Also, you will need to make at least 4 post before you can send PM's to folks and perhaps to even post pictures. New members are "moderated" for the first 4 post. This helps us keep out the spammers and maintain a nice friendly family forum....and remember, there is no such thing as a stupid question. We are all here to help.
....and don't be surprised to find there are other bolters all over Florida!!
