Well, That Would Be Telling Now Wouldn't It!


Okay. My new favorite thing... my loud and obnoxious Air Compressor and Paint Gun. I think I will be spending a lot more time in the garage painting furniture, disturbing the peace, and losing my hearing. I guess I better get me some quality ear plugs right away - can you say this afternoon? Anyway, I love my new toys - it's probably an infatuation that will quickly grow stale but for now I am enjoying it. My next 3 projects will be a rocking chair, a vintage side table, and a really cute twin size head and foot board. I hope to have these three done this week and then I will move on to a china cabinet.

Initially I was really frustrated because the air compressor was taking forever to get up to full pressure and shut off that unholy racket it makes while charing the tank. Then Edgardo, my sweetie, pointed out that there was a pretty sizeable air leak coming from the attachment between the hose and the paint gun. After the application of a little teflon tape (I know you're probably yawning so big your ears are popping) and a couple good turns with the wrench and problem solved. Still, I may want the giant size compressor if this new obsession continues long term. Tell you what... I'll let you know.

Sounds WAY fun!

Are these for your store or just to keep?

I bought them for my store but they live at my house because I can't expect people to what to spend shopping when I am making an unholy clatter of deafening proportions.

I have an HVLP sprayer (which is a compressor and spray system all together) and it is soooo awesome! Enjoy your new toy!
