WOW! Nice guy and small gloat
First things first. My future son-in-law (who has been helping me work on my new workshop) stopped by the house this evening and said he had something to drop off. I go outside with him and there, in the back of his truck, was a very new looking Campbell-Hausfield 22 Gallon 5 HP (and yes, I know about that HP rating being more of a wish than a fact) vertical air compressor! I said "Where did you get it?" .... at a pawn shop he says. Great, how much did it cost me? He says he got it for $100.00. I say to him "Well, I'll get your money for you" and he says "I don't want your money. I want this shop to get done as bad as you do. Let's go see if it'll work where you wanted it to go." It fits. Perfectly. Right beside the G0440 Cyclone that has not been fired up yet. Still got to run the rest of the ductwork. Oh well, in good time.
Now, as to my (future) son-in-law. He is a wonderful guy. Not just because he got me an air compressor (though that won't hurt him any) but because he wants this workshop to happen too. I have been playing around with home construction and remodels all my life and I just knew I didn't have the patience to be a woodworker. This guy says to me, "How do you know if you don't try?" So here I am, closing in on finishing my workshop and can hardly wait to start my first (non-shop) project. Won't be any pics unless it turns out a whole lot better that I expect. No pics of the shop .... yet. I will soon.
Thanks for listening.
Brad
