Ahh the right tool for the right job...

 There is nothing better than having the right tool for the right job....well that's not 100% true the only thing better than that is buying a new tool that is the right tool for the right job. I popped into Peavy mart and behold...look at what was on sale!

  I have had 'moisture issues' in my  lines.
Easy there fellas...I'm getting older but I'm not there yet! The problem is the compressed air line that is plumbed into the garage . The workshop,being under the garage, has cement walls,cement ceiling, cement floor....truth be known I affectionately refer to the shop as 'the bunker'. The problem is there is very few ways to get anything....like compressed air out of the shop. There is a fresh air intake, so when I wanted air in the garage above, I simply ran a line through the fresh air intake out side then through the garage wall and presto!-Done!
Except, warm air runs through cold line= condensation. And that is NOT good for the air tools.
 So I terminated the line outside and found an access hole from when they put in the security system through the wall between the furnace room and the shop. (Why I didn't see that the first time I'll never know but now we have an easy access from shop to the furnace room, then the furnace room to the garage.The access to the garage is from the secondary panel we put in the garage for the 220V service. So a new line from inside to inside. A little soldering...
 And boom! I'm back in business
 Now, what the heck are these?? can you guess?
