DIY Home Projects

In that case, I would just buy her the air compressor! I would add a few things to that purchase too.......air chuck (she can fill her own tires) 1/2" Impact (she can change the tire), Heck while I was at it, shop vac, circular saw, table saw, radial arm saw, belt sander, paint guns, reloading bench, dies.....................oh man forget it, that's the stuff I want.

My father-in-law has all that at his place, so it's just a short drive to use the things, and not have to find my own storage places for them. I like the arrangement just fine! He's my "fix it" mentor; retired military and loves carpentry. He's taught me how to do most of the stuff without risking loss of fingers or other appendages, or making the projects look too much like novice DIY jobs. I just want some of the smaller stuff for quick projects, like a nail gun, and maybe a belt sander (kitchen cabinets really want to be repainted white, they told me so).

For filling or changing my own tires, oil, and all the other mechanical biz, my mechanic does a great job at these things. Where auto maintenance is concerned, I will happily continue doing my part to keep that economy alive and well. I love my car too much to punish it with my attempts at DIY.
