Yes, the objective is to reduce moisture.=C2=A0 I don=E2=80=99t have a lot =
of space for long runs of iron pipe, so I=E2=80=99m looking at using a tran=

The compressor arrived today (one advantage of getting it from Lowes, they =

 for me (gave them a nice tip since I didn=E2=80=99t have to drag it up the=
 driveway).

My wife=E2=80=99s reaction was similar to what someone else reported, =E2=
