I bought a compressor so I could have air in my workshop instead of always hiking over to the barn for it. Getting fed up with seeing the thing sitting in the room where I stored it for five years, I made installation my weekend project.

Steve that's awesome you got me beat by 57 gallons. That's not a garage that's an assembly plant.

Very cool. There are few things more manly than the sound of a 60 gallon, upright air-compressor powering on...grin...

I bought one two years ago. I am finally getting around to ordering the single phase motor to hook up on it. It was new but in a three phase location.

Isn't doing all that plumbing a good time. Now get one of the retractable air hoses and build a nice rack to put your air tools on. I'd be lost without my compressor. The other thing I went out and got that I wouldn't be without is a 2 1/2 ton air jack like Norco sells. Spendy but better than a wet wedgie.

Hello Steve:

That road sure looked like I have been down it before. Ha. To Randy, that Steve has a great place, take it from me, oh and it cost me lunch in Arkansas City, but believe me I would do it again. He is a "T" guy and has a good supply of parts. Now that I am back in California I should have looked over his stash and tried to buy some thing. Oh well if you had as hind sight as you foresight you would have 20/20 vision.

Looks great Steve. Best to you

Bill Dugger Redding , Ca.

I don't mind a little plumbing, but that attic gets a bit toasty on a 100º day. Fortunately I finished the attic part by the time the sun reached the roof.

Steve, nice set up. One suggestion, add a water trap and drain at the end of your air supply line. This will cut down maintenance on any water separators and air tools. Just a "U" shaped trap with a valve on the bottom of the "U". This really helps when the temps. vary during the early and late day.
