I still haven't pulled the trigger on a compressor. I also saw some comments on the quality of the low/mid tier IR's. Seems the garage journal people like FS-Curtis, Champion and Quincy but it's hard to say. I'm not in a rush so I'm going to think a bit more.


The good news is that I finally have the place and am getting all moved in. The place is much smaller with a car but still better than anything I've had in the past. Especially considering I also have a 2 car garage not shown. Working with the grass in front of the shop vs concrete may prove interesting but I'm thinking of a few solutions. I wish the enclosed patio was a bit deeper to park some cars easier but it's still a very interesting area to hang out. To the right of the shop is also another outbuilding where the compressor will be. I didn't take pics of it.

Biggest problem so far is the driveway in the front. I didn't notice how steep it was in combination with the crest of the road. I'm scraping the hell out of the car hauler getting it in and out. Seems a small tractor, a custom built tug (perhaps with a small flatbed and hoist for moving heavy things to the shop??) or regrading the drive is going to be necessary. I'll post more about that stuff in the shop section.
