Thanks Pete
I'll put the new switch in and see what happens.
Before that, I'll check to see if the hole to the inducer motor is clogged.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks again

OK...excellent advice, thanks!
I'll go with the 1/2 inch plywood and will see about renting a stapler. I already have a compressor.
Will 3/4 inch staples do the job?

Sorry, forgot to add this to the last post:
For the new plywood, should we screw it into the joists or can it get just screwed into the original plywood?
