So a couple of you guys have inspired me.  Junior, you first with all the stuff you have been growing.  So Junior tells me that if I water my little blue compressor every day it will grow up to be a big one.  So believing him that is what I have been doing.

Well much to my surprise it workedsmilesmile  This is what I came home to on Thursday afternoon.  5 hp, 3 cylinder unit.  Got excited and called the guy that does my electrical work for me.  As luck would have it he was available on Friday to wire in a switch and circuit for me.

So with it being nothing but wall to wall rain all day today I took some shop time.  All you guys that take parts from something and use them somewhere else got me thinking.confuse  My wife was out, so when she was gone I cut out the copper piping to her shower.  Told her we have a pump problem and will need to look at it next week some timebiggrin

All works great.  It had about 20-30 min of running time today between playing with it and trying to get a sandblaster unit I am borrowing to work.  I was amazed that I got condensation out of the two left runs as well as some from the tank itself.  The regulator seems to be defective so will have to get another one.  This one does not like the 150 psi it is being given.  Took it apart but can't see anything wrong with it.  It either makes a crazy noise or pisses a lot of air out of the bleed hole when adjusting the output pressure.  Wonder where this will lead me.biggrinbiggrin
