its a senco...very high quality stuff. its a tiny compressor, supposed to be super quiet and draw very little charge. on top of that, its only 20lbs which makes it nice for darting into a house to fix some little thing...

Ready for winter???? Nope! Still have 3 rooms to insulate and then blown in for the attic. None of which should take long, but many things to get done before I get to the easy stuff. 
Decomissioned my coal boiler the other day and trying to set up a small electric unit. We'll see how that works out.

im pumped for winter, but definately not quite ready yet.
i need to finish a bit of bodywork on the DD, and then sell my sled and get a new one. but im in a bit of a delima right now.
i found a 2008 polaris 600RR for $7500, but today i had a guy e-mail me wanting to trade my sled(2002 mxz 800 renegade-listed for $4500) for his 2006 polaris IQ440, plus around $1500.
but i also know of another 2006 iq 440 for $6500. the IQ 440 and 600RR are basicaly the same sled just different engine sizes. the problem is for only a $1000 i cant have a 2year newer sled that has a bigger displacement. i think i might go for the trade though; its less hassle then trying to sell it.
did any of that make sense? i kind of jumped around a bit

senco tends to be quite pricey, thats why they're usually unheard of. they were/are the top name in pneumatics, but the other companies, makita-dewalt-bosch-ect. have flooded the market with affordable stuff so the expensive stuff gets pushed to the back of the shelf.
