oh no they are tough out here. Especially with all the seismic activity. But unless your adding square footage to your house. Or the job is on the books why bother?

I have a 50'x100' footprint. 2 blocks from the ocean, 2 blocks from the intracoastal waterway. (it's a small strip of island)

It's really hard to take a crap without a permit.

And I don't have enough room to get a permit without a variance. So I need the signatures of every property owner within the Intergalactic Alliance of Planets in order to do so.

Most of the vacant lots are owned by people who live in ....."Ja-Bip"? I've never heard of it.lol

I was randomly thinking about this today. I think owning tools is like a disease... The more you have the more you want. Even with as many tools as I've bought, I've never let a tool sit unused for long. For example, when I was sanding my boat, I used the dual action sander, jitterbug sander, electric palm sander, and a sponge pad. They were all perfect in a particular application.

One last thing I thought you could use is a soldering station. Wellers have a good name. Mine is an Aoyue 937 with digital temperature control. Makes soldering all those electrical connections a breeze instead of a chore.

copper?

expensive!

galvanized or black pipe would be better.

I don't want to use black pipe due to the rust issue, and on one of the blogs I was reading, a couple of people said that copper was cheaper than galvanized. I thought that didn't sound right, but figured if it was on the internet, it must be true. Where is the best place to buy galvanized here? What happens when you have it cut to length and rethreaded, in terms of the galvanizing? Do they dip it for you, spay something on? I'm guessing that I'll need 4 pieces cut and threaded.

No copper
Black pipe PITA
galv pipe PITA
SCH 80 pvc (grey) the only way to go

I just did searches on using schedule 80, and what people say (if it's on the internet, it's true) is that schedule 80 is just like schedule 40 in terms of being a time bomb, but with just a longer fuse.

I wish my time machine still worked. Could have made a boat load of money investing in gold.

Copper is fine. Can get expensice if you have a big system.
I prefer Galvanized for air. Black is ok but will rust from inside out & rust scale can get stuck in couplers/air tools. We run black for oil.
The best stuff in Transair. We became a dealer about a year ago. It's expensive but lasts a lifetime and very easy to use.
Check it http://www.transair-usa.com/

That Trainsair looks expensive. Any cost ideas?

I love this thread but mostly because I currently own every tool mentioned here and couldn't agree more that they are all useful and worth their weight in gold.

I have found that I reach for my Milwaukee 18volt cordless far more than my impact. It has an impact setting plus clutched drill settings so it works for everything I need and is always on hand. I have adapters so it takes 1/2" and 1/4" sockets.

The only tool left on my wish list is a good quality slide hammer, after that I am moving up to a hobby lathe and milling machine set before I go all out and purchase a CNC milling machine.
