Pancake Compressor

Stayed home yesterday and did some trim work.

Trim work requires a pneumatic brad nailer. Typically I fire up the compressor in the garage and run hoses throughout the house, but yesterday wasn't exactly typical.

The temperature outside at 11:30am was a balmy almost 15°F.

I wasn't about to run the air hose under the garage door causing it to stay slightly ajar for the entire day, so I devised a pancake compressor to get the job done and done comfortably in warmth.

I could almost do an entire window before I had to head back to the garage and re-pressurize. Considering it took nearly two hours to do a window, the trips to the garage for air were not annoyingly frequent.

Hell, after the bazillion trips to the garage to cut a single piece of wood to the perfect length, what was three extra trips to fill the tank?

At least I kept the house warm.
