This... get a utility knife of scraper. Remove that deteriorated foam draft strip and put new stuff down. Shouldn't cost you more than $20

Avoiding the filters, and using a 3/4 line would probably be all thats required as long as your pump is sized appropriately.

I feel that 1-1/4" is overkill for a sprinkler.

What hp pump? How deep of a well? How far from the pump to your house?

If you can find something that does 1.5" pipe to 2" vacuum hose, just find another 2" to 2.5" converter then?

For the sake of you and your house I’d get the shop vac sander tool with the sanding screens. They’re pretty cheap at Home Depot

What you suggesting is sounds to be the right solution.

On a side note I didn't mean to rewire the sensor itself but to simply connect it after the wall switch. That way it can be overriden by the switch, but only to turn it off, not to make it stay on.

Sometimes English is a struggle ;)

If you're very concerned, just stack a bunch of washers underneath the screw heads to effectively shorten the screws. Not the prettiest solution but fine for your application.

you can do that, but like other people have said you want it to be a little thinner.

Try to sand a lot of what you already have up down smooth, then tape all the corners. Youtube is your friend.

Then do a SUPER LIGHT coat on top of your tape. Then a SUPER LIGHT sand.

By this point you should be almost smooth. if you need another coat, go for it. Light, thin coats are the way. Heck, if it takes you 4 coats, go for it. Slowly get smoother and smoother until you are happy.

There are a lot of different options and colors for these switches... definitely including white lol. Isn’t “Hunter” the brand name of some fans? So if it HAS to be brand specific for the one you have, maybe that’s the issue. People are getting these types of switches all over the place now (at least where I am in the US) and I’ve seen a huge variety and different colors. Never felt the need for one myself, so not sure about requirements. Mainly see them in newer houses or houses being renovated/updated. May be worth a look if you don’t like the color though!

Those look like the standard weather strips that just pull out of the groove and can be purchased at any home improvement/hardware store.

You can also just bend the hinges with an adjustable (Crescent) wrench.

Should i buy an electric sander? Would that work better or what kind of sander

The gaps in the corner seemed big so i thought i had to fill in with mud first lol thats my bad

If you want to fix it every year they just patch on top of it, if you want to fix it once, remove and replace, have to fix the base and drainage or it will just keep cracking

Scrape only. Paint over. Move on.

General rule for most surfaces in woodworking is not to exceed 2/3 the thickness. I’ve had some particle boards that anything more than half the thickness shows a dimple on the backside. I’d go slow and add a few washers if necessary.

We used 6" thick with the proper amount of rebar. This was 30 years ago and only have a few hairline cracks. This was for a parking pad.

Yikes. You want to tape with your first coat. That said, it’s not the end of the world. Take your blade and scrape off all mounds and big imperfections. Going thick is not the way. Get a bucket of regular spackle (white bucket with green lid) add a little water to help thin it out a bit. You want to be using a 12” blade to make smooth coverage.

Rough sand first. Mud goes behind the paper tape anyways

you could also add a pull string to the light

Is it too late to paper tape the inside corners?

10/1 your chopper is currently stuck with something lodged in it.

It is a small blender inside your drain that pulverizes sold food left behind on the plates.

For the amount on there, I would expect it to look like that at first. Rough sand, hit with couple more thin light coats, probably need to thin your mud a little more. Sand in between. It will clean up. Big spatula fast strokes.

Keep in mind that 1-1/2 PVC has an ID (inside diameter) of slightly greater than that dimension (it's ID is 1.59"), and OD (outside diameter) of 1.90".

Vacuum hose diameters vary quite a bit. Your best bet is to go to your local hardware and try different PVC couplings with a sample of your PVC and vacuum hose. You might have to use 2 couplings.
