Just got home after spending the last 3 days on my dads roof with colty.(Thursday was driving, and pressure washing the house to prep for paint) Started out with 6 potential rotten sheets of plywood. we finished off with 17... and a case of nails,nearly 5000 of them thru the nail gun. (Thank dog for the rapid fire setting on it!) The entire roof got renailed.
The compresser made it thru the entire house but barely.AS I went to start it up for the last piece of trim on the house roof, the belt kept slipping. So I tensioned it. Then there was a massive airleak, and wouldnt pump up to more than 60#. so that ended that deal. I was shocked that it started on the second pull for every time but one where it got water in the gas. Dad couldnt help himself and went and rented one for 1/2 a day 20$. So we had to keep going, even tho I was certain it was going to rain. well 1/2 hour after we pulled up the tarps, it started to rain. At least it wasnt very heavy, and none lasted more than 20 mins.
So were both worn to nubs.. Off to work in the mornin :((
