Have you ever been in there?

[HOOK]

Spent the day in Monty's basement and belly. Remounted water pump on bubber to make it quiet. Replaced a hose with a slow drip. Made the convenience closet water tight. Wow!!! I'm tired. It looks like a large area until you stay in there a while. Larry

Been there, done the same thing. It made a differance in the noise level and vibration in the pump. That area looks big at first. It is nice to have someone there passing needed items

OK, you've both been in there, I was there Sunday (Converter plug worked loose). Do you think it would be possible to make the cover behind the convenience center a little smaller. It looks to have a few inches of wasted space before getting to the water pump and all the pluming lines. Just a thought to gain just a little more storage space in the basement.

I did the exact thing your are asking about. I took off the plastic cover and cut about 8 inches off the outside edge. please measure it though, i had to cut mine twice. It's hard to put it back once it's cut off.

OH, the old if you cut it and it's too short, if you cut it again it's still too short.
Thanks for the input, I thought it looked like I could gain a little more storage area as you don't need all that blank space for the water pump and some water lines.

[brooksider]

Yes I cut mine also.

Hook, I like your "sniglet" (let me know if you don't know what this is). Rubber that is used to Buffer noise should be called a "bubber". I like that. Even if this is a typo (I think it is), I think it should be a real word. What did you used for your "bubber"?

I'm gonna have to install some bubbers. I rarely use the pump since 95% of the time I'm connected to a city supply. But that 5% running the water pump is really noisy. It drives DW and all other females (daughter, sister, SILs) crazy every time they use the toilet like they don't want anyone to know they used it... sheesh.

Mhs4771, your post "OH, the old if you cut it and it's too short, if you cut it again it's still too short." is too funny, but almost applies to what Swanny mentioned (but we knew what he really meant). There's a phrase "Measure twice then cut once" that I have messed up so many times. The phrase should be "Measure it correctly twice then cut it correctly once". You can imagine where I've gone wrong a few times. I suppose the first phrase should be "Know what you are doing first, then..."

I cut it twice and it was till too short.

[swanny]

Yes I had to cut it twice, because i was CHICKEN. Didn't trust my measurements. it all worked out, two cut equal about 8 inches, 6" first cut then 2" second cut

I was down there when working on our heater issues and took lots of pictures, Heres one of them. You would think A multi Million Dollar Company could come up with something that doesn't look like a ??????????. What do you think? And sorry don't mean to steal your thread.
