Nothing. It's too damned hot out there!

Count me in

Same knife I carry whenever I leave the house; CRKT M16-04DB "Deadbolt'

I was in my local Lowe's just yesterday, and they still had Bosch.

Hey guys and gals... Looking forward to actually working on my house (yeah, I'll believe it when I see it, too), and I note the painted brick is peeling in a lot of areas (especially down near the ground), and is in overall poor shape. I'm thinking it would be best to strip it? Is that...

The trouble is, frequently the spot which opens leads to a catastrophic tearing of the tank. Think of it like a potato chip bag: very strong as a whole, but once you get a spot to let loose, it will rip very easily (sometimes throwing your chips everywhere in the process!).

No, but it sits on the other side of a block wall with a large tool box in front of the wall on the garage side. And while the blocks don't stop the damage, they do remove a significant amount of energy.

Not unless I'm going in to drain any water from it. I know it can happen. It's more likely to go off (if it's going to go off) while running (gaining pressure while also being vibrated). It's around 15 years old, and I will be replacing it in the next year or two, but it's never had significant...

There is a reason other than mere noise my compressor is in a side room off my garage. Yes, I go in there on occasion (it's also a storage area), but most of the time it sits in there all by its lonesome. Also, I do not go in while it's running.

What screwdriver and wrench racks are those?

Oops... my belt sander isn't Vevor, it's Wen.

I have a Vevor cast-steel anvil (nice bounce, so far, so good), and a 6" belt sander. I haven't used the belt sander, but it seems to be decent quality.
