    Question about my LOUD Sears Air Compressor!

    I have that same compressor. When we eventually move, THAT compressor will not be making the trip. Probably sell it cheap to someone starting out..........

    Appartment Garage

    I suppose you bought this for "the right price". Considering what I fear my 50 x 100 building will cost, I may have to re-think breaking ground. Zoning would be the only other question.
