Well thanks guys for all the response. I did find that website earlier but I think the smallest tank listed on there was like 200 gallons. Anyway yeah my intent is to use a compressor for airing tires, using an impact and ratchet, and a little finish nailer. I realize that with my small...

Yeah once he told me 1/2 hp I noticed how small the pump was. I think I'm gonna keep on looking. I'm tempted to just go buy a harbor freight 21 gallon with a 2 year warranty. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Well he just said it's a 1/2 hp. Not sure that will cut it. There are no cfm ratings on the machine either. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Well the guy messaged me back and said he would take 150. I had a guy with a craftsman professional 25 gallon (also belt drive) but after agreeing to meet me 3 times he backed out. This general is closer to home so I'm definitely gonna check it out. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

I just found this thing on Craigslist. Does anybody know if this is a decent brand? It's a 30 gallon 120 volt but I'm not sure how much air it puts out. I know this is vague I'm just trying to see if it's worth looking at. He's asking $200 but that seems a little steep. Sent from my...

I forgot to add, but thank you all for the replies. I do have an electrician buddy who could wire it up for me. I'm a plumber so I can get a pipe in the ground but house wiring isn't my expertise. That's why I'm a plumber. If I screw up I usually just get wet. Sent from my SPH-L720 using...

Well I'm not sure it's possible to run it through the attic without cutting sheet rock or putting conduit on the side of the house. If I have to run a new wire I'll get out the pick and shovel and go around the back yard. It's not a big house so it wouldn't be too bad. Sent from my...

Well its not set in stone yet I still have to look at it. I guess the conduit would be the best thing to do though if it comes down to it. If I can get the belt drive craftsman I'll probably go that route. If not adding a 240 plug would greatly expand my options. I've pretty much decided...

That's kind of what I figured but I'm no electrician. And sorry that was kind of confusing. The main panel/breaker box is on the outside of the house. Facing the house it's on the left side. My garage is on the right side of the house. Because it's on a slab I can't run a wire underneath and...

I have a (probably stupid) question about adding a 220v outlet in my garage. I have been reading as much about compressors as I can and it seems that the best options require 220v. My house in on a slab and is two stories. The main panel is on the outside of the house opposite from the garage...

Ultimately I'd like to build a top shelf with a peg board backing to hang some tools on. This is my first garage so I haven't accumulated many tools yet, but with a 1-car garage I'd like to have a place for everything to minimize clutter and leave enough open floor space. Haha, and yes it is...

Thanks, yeah there are some things I would have done different if I was buying the exact lumber I wanted, but I couldn't pass it up.

Well I've been wanting to do something with my garage since I moved in my house in September. I finally got a workbench built over the weekend, but I had a little free time this afternoon so I moved it to where I wanted it and started stacking **** on it. The white thing on top was part of some...

My plan is to build a workbench to the left of the water heater, and then find some cabinets to mount above it. Then, along the right side, I was thinking about doing some shelves just to get stuff off of the floor. Sorry to hear about your fire, but mine is an electric water heater. I make...

Hey guys I stumbled upon this site before I even bought our home. I really wanted a two car garage, but the house we liked had everything we wanted, except for that. So, I ended up with a 13'x18'. Its not a huge deal, we weren't planning on parking a car in it, it is my space. It's not big...
