A friend had one all set up both fans blowing. Put down the base and went into the garage for a coffee. Just happened to look out and the booth was deflating. Found the fan to inflate it stopped. He acted pretty quick and swapped fans. Found out the first fan overheated and seized up an dumped...

I'm 78 and use a piece of 2x4 and a long orange prybar from HF. Line the stud up with one of holes and on it goes. No strain on me.

A tidbit of information for the orig. poster. Be careful when traveling up I89 in the winter. Lots of black ice between between exit 11 and 17.

My pump was installed about 2 years before i bought the house. It was down 280 ft and lasted for approx 36 years. It was a Meyers and i replaced it with a Myers. Never had a problem with the first one till it died.
