    Since I have this one, I totally forget about using pistol grip! pistiol grip always break or leak somewhere. That one: you can drop it and it bounces...it's almost funny. Mine been out with water in freezing temp a couple of days this winter(before I think to open it) and no harm to it yet.

    Conduit and attic trusses

    That's what I did in the 2house prior . everytime I find a junction box, I put a "flag on it". wire, rope attach to the upper truss membre with a sticker naming the circuit or description. I doubt there's something against putting the boxes or cable higher in the trusses then on the bottom of it.

    Which guy has the biggest...air compressor at home?

    it's not your 120g tank the issue...it's the pump that doesn'T put out enough CFM at the pressure you want. I have a small 25g with a 1945(yes the year) something like 4cfm at 90psi pump. when I need more air, I hook up my small 5g yet 4cfm pump to it. I doubt I win anything with 8cfm lol
