comment How can I remotely monitor a GFCI receptacle?
Your desire to provide monitoring for the sump pump GFI breaker is all well and good.....but I see a potential problem or two. First off this GFI should not be tripping unless there is truly something wrong on the downwind circuit of the GFI unit. If there is nuisance tripping then there is some problem that needs fixing right away. On the other hand if things are going along normally and then the GFI trips having the reset ability convenient in the living space will likely lead to simple resetting without an investigation of what caused the trip. Is this the safest thing???

comment Does it mean a broken wire if a doorbell transformer works, but there is little-to-no voltage at the switch?
0 VAC across the front switch could also be a problem with the switch being broken and causing a continuous short between its terminals.

comment What should I look for when diagnosing electrical circuit gremlins where load is much less than capacity?
@HenryJackson - The best advice I can give you is twofold. Firstoff this is an endevor that requires some mechanical and electrical type skills. Specialized but readily avaiable tools are required. The second part is that there are numerous web sites that show videos and photos of how to go about replacing LCD monitor power supply capacitors. You will learn a lot more spending some time looking there than I can give you in a couple of sentences here.

comment How can I make a sturdy frame out of square, steel tubing?
@mike - I totally agree with you. A 1" square tubing frame the size of a door will still twist some. Welding is however the only really practical way to get the frame as sturdy as it could be. To get a frame that would be more suited meeting the needs of oscilatingcretin it is going to require something more like 1.5" or even 2" square tubing that was welded up. Welding is really the only way to transfer the full lever force of one axis into a torsion force in the adjacent frame edge. Any other type of corner is going to introduce some flexure at the corners - the shown dowel pegs for example.

@MT_Head - A picture "can" be worth a thousand words. In the case of the picture posted by msh210 the picture is basically worthless.
