    Purty. I'd build myslelf a shelter behind the garage (or even put it in the attic above the garage) and run a main line inside of the garage. Little noise - no space taken up.

    That thing oughta keep you supplied in air for a while.

    I got one similar size, different brand. Could not live without it. Sandblasting furniture and car parts, impact tools, blowing dog hair out of the vacuum cleaner, any job can use some compressed air :D

    Rick, good idea about mounting in the attic and running a line down... :hmmm:

    Free up space in the garage, less noise... :hmmm: :hmmm:

    Just gotta figure out how to move the damned thing. It is like 500lbs or so :hmmm: :hmmm: :hmmm:

    Got me thinking, or at least going HMMMM...

    yeah my garage is not that big, its like a 2 car garage but only fits one car due to the seperation wall and only 1 car door, i may move it to the other side for less noise and more work space, and yeap i bought a sandblaster gun too :D prolly gonna get some estimates next week for the wire running

    Very nice compressor.(y) We built a small room on to our garage just for our compressor and other stuff. It gave us a whole lot more room and it does cut down on the noise a bit.
