If that tank was post weld heat treated you might have ruined it by heating on it?

Yes Yes I will connect one tonight. I am suspecting the same thing now after doing some googling on it. Will report back.

No just a normal switch.

Update - Ok I had 3 separate circuits like this two already had fixtures and bulbs so I just wired up switches like discussed above and they functioned as they should. The third circuit I wired the same as the other two and I just had the three wires at the fixture wire nutted off. I figured I...

Cool that looks like it will work. I will check later this week and let you know!

Ok explain how in your first comment. There are two switches on different sides of the room. One switch has the line in and line to the light. The other just the travelers, neutral and ground pulled over in the 12/3.

Guess I am not explaining this well. From what I understand a three way switch cannot have the feed line in and the line out to the light in the same box. There is only one black screw on the switch. The traveler legs pulled between the two switches were pull in 12/3 + ground. What I am...

Yeah I can’t access the boxes easily without destroying the walls.

The traveler leg is 12/3 with ground so I have an insulated green wire that’s really not doing anything.

I have a commercial building wired with MC. One switch box has the line in and the line out to the light. Is there a way to make this work? In the past the black is line in on one switch and the black on the other switch goes to the light. Can I steal a ground wire to turn into a hot and run...

Thanks that is helpful. I like the gypcrete stuff but would rather try and save cost and perform the work myself. Obviously I couldnt do gypcrete, but using an underlayment layer and putting some durock over it would be easy. Would I be ok just screwing the durock down (sandwiching the sound...

Too late for that. Im living on the first floor. Never heard of this one, had to look it up. Wonder what this would cost?

Going to be hardwood flooring upstairs.

The bottom floor is finished and the sheet rock is screwed directly to the floor joists/trusses above. The subfloor is already on the second level so there is no way of going back inside the ceiling without ripping it out, so in short Im not opening it up. Im looking for a way to dampen sound on...
