    Anyone have their air compressor "outside" of the garage?

    I see that a lot of these set ups are on larger sized lots. Is anyone doing this in a residential area? I may be picking up a new compressor and the idea of having it outside the garage is appealing but I'm somewhat concerned with bothering the neighbors. Has anyone done this with noise...

    Amazon: $73.37 Starrett V1212MXRL Stainless Steel Micrometer, Metric 25-50mm

    What should I do with these two compressors?

    Hello all, Name is Juan. I bought a house about 3 years ago and have found myself referencing this forum often as I take on projects around the house and garage that I figured it was time to join.
