anything will work.. although most dust systems are designed using impellers for a reason..

it's made to read from below easier because that's most often how it's used/positioned..

lookin' good.. tagged..

THIS... and just about any "landscaping center" (not nursery or home depot) will GIVE you an adjustment key if you dont have one already.

THIS.. or mount a 3/4" plywood backer plate to the wall (stud to stud) and then mount the reel to THAT.

what panel are you replacing? if it's a "modern panel" then replace it with like and you'll have a TON of breakers that you'll be able to re-use. GE/SquareD/Siemens all make quality gear.

If your wiring and boxes are exposed, you have several options. *leave the fan wired as it is (pullstring operation?) and just hardwire the "plug" into the receptacle box that you have it plugged into. (do this at a minimum) *you can also add a switch for the fan by mounting a switch in a box...

Looks like you've got a history of spending more money than you need to. well.. *than needs to be spent.. (maybe you DO need to spend that much to yield the same results others can do spending far less.)

I was mistaken, I apologize for conflating the issue.

it's always cheaper to fill with dirt than to fill with stone. sometimes, lowering the elevation of the entire building and surrounding area will save you more than the increased cost (of adding french drain and seeding)..

moot point since we dont know anything about the OPs panel..

1/2" breakers are available in both AFCI and GFCI from a number of manufacturers (but not all - i dont think GE makes one). but they ARE available and it IS possible. THIS is a tandem breaker. it's 1" and contains two breakers within the same housing. again, if you want a solution to...
