    Thanks, and to all you other guys, thank you also. Scope of project varies greatly from yours. I talked Fri. to county engineer, and he said 2x6 16oc was code. Even for 2/12.

    I figured it could be done, but how, cheaply. Not much luck finding a proper pump. Found these people in Australia, http://www.bvaonline.com.au/index.php?p=catalog&mode=search&search_in=all&search_str=PE0501 but they want $3000 for their small .5HP pump. Please tell me more! Jim.
