    Airtools in the loungeroom

    I have a 240v compressor and air tools set up in the lounge room, I just did a pre race rebuild on my MTB so found it easier to pump the tyres up to 60psi using the compressor instead of my lungs.

    Whilst I have it inside I have blown the dust from all the hard to get places, re hinged a door. Assembled some Ikea in such record time I could make the Swedish Olympic team.

    So what will SWMBO say when she gets home and eyes my precious new toys sitting in the corner of the lounge room?

    Is it acceptable bloke type furniture or has the fridge monkey stolen to many of my beers this arvo?

    Most do

    but, I broke mine last week therefore the only options I had on hand was (as previously posted) my 240v air compressor or my lungs.

    Hey don't blame the fridge monkey, I'd question that little fella who turns the light on and off, he works pretty hard you know!

    Can you please post up a listing of parts that will be available to AULRO members in the near future?

    I have a funny feeling that SWMBO will be having a sale in the very near future... Besides, there isn't much room in the dog house for all of your toys...

    Hey Dobbo
    I have a mate who rebuilds engines/gearboxes/diffs and anything else in his house!!!! Has 2 bedrooms full of parts
    He also does donuts on the lino in the kitchen with his 1200cc Motoguzzi.
    He is as feral as you get and blessed with being happily single
    Another mate almost got divorced at the time.6 month old house,very speccy has EVERYTHING.
    Mrs came home to find a Bultaco mojobike engine block being cooked in HER $2000 oven in HER $300 baking dish.All he was doing was expanding it to fit new bearings.
    She NEVER got over it,he now has a young girlfriend!!!
    BEWARE,choose your path well.
