    Retaining Wall questions

    Would you pay $1,500 for 14% more HP?

    We have a similar problem but different. When contractors see some of our circumstances they seem to want to do a little extra to help out. But we don't mind.

    A 120v circuit within 15 feet of a water feature is a code violation without proper bonding and grounding. You need a lightning arrestor to get back into compliance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_arrester
