I’m going to be selling the house soon so probably not going to run new service
to the garage to accommodate the welder so will just put in a socket near the
shutoff circuit and get an extension cord to have a bit more flexibility.

Were it me, I'd put a standard 220V welder socket in the garage (or wherever),
Buy the mating plug, and a suitable length of cable, and replace the cord
on the welder with it. Buy a second socket and a drop box, and use the
welder's original cable to make a 110->220 adapter, so you can continue
I have a 40A breaker on my new 200A main power cutoff box for the
addition (it's under the addition but easy to reach) that I broke out
with (I think) 8g wire to a box that I never hooked up to anything, I'll
have to look to make sure. I'll put a socket on that. It's not in the
garage but I

The worst thing is that it will start a fire, and not out on the flamey end.
Though this is unlikely.
I REALLY don't like the games they're clearly playing with the input cord.
Also, their labeled specs are pretty crappy/confusing. On
I wonder how old the rest of the plumbing is? Those galvanized fittings
look like new (at least on the outside). We find that the current crop
of galvanized fittings that come from the far east don't last long on
our setup out at the lake.

Not a shower at least, there isn't one. There is a tub but no shower head.
Caldon's grandparents moved into the house in 1920. It's an interesting place,
the original house was built in 1888, you can see the hand hewn timbers in the
basement. Then at some point before 1920 somebody added on
Hmm, good points. I think maybe I'll put a piece of plywood to block the pump
and piping from the switch and mount it on the opposite side. So 2' higher than
the pump but with a 2' wide wall between the pump and the switch.
40 years ago is when Caldon moved into the house, he's done basically
Or maybe they had some rotten kids that would shut off the water on their
old man when he was all lathered up in the shower...

You don't want anything in the way of working on the plumbing. 2' in front
of the pump, and 2' over it, sounds a bit close. Also, you don't want the
electrics in the path of any leak that might spring up and spray the area.
Pressure switches should cut out when the pressure gets too low, too.
They might be giants...
Was the switch located up high to keep it out of the spring floods? Or
were they trying to save wire, make a short run? Or was the floor dug out
to make the room deeper after the switch was installed?
