Default Gotta tell you - - - >

The small one is a wonder. I haven't taken the big 6hp bruiser out of the shop in ages.

I moved the 'Pro' to the wall tot he left of my bench and will put the compressor under it.

Default You might wanna think twice about using the blower in the garage.....

I can understand why the idea of blowing leaves out of the garage is appealing, but to be honest there's so much dust/dirt on the floor of my garage that I'd never consider doing that. Blowing the floor would create a dust cloud that would settle on everything else in the garage. It's already bad enough, a garage being what it is; no need to make things worse! I'd have to wait a few hours before bringing the cars back in, just so that the dust could settle. I do plan to vac the garage floor with the shop vac, since until now I've been sweeping. But I don't think I'd want to do any blowing (I do have a gas powered leaf blower if the spirit ever really moves me, and that thing would outdo a shop vac any day anyway). Of course, YMMV. Just my $.02.

Default Thanks for this perspective. Will have to consider it...

I'm planning on painting the garage floor, and getting one of those Griots big dust mop type brooms to sweep. I'm also going to consider putting down rubber door guards to prevent dirt and debrit from blowing into the garage. Shouldn't cost that much.

What I wouldn't give to have a nice new *empty* garage to start with again!

Yeah, I know. I'm a virgin when it comes to home ownership.
