Notes:

Installation took three days:  July 10, 13, 21, 2020.

This included parts acquisition.  Air Filter / Regulator was ordered from Amazon.  Air Reels were purchased from Harbor Freight, and Menards Online.  Pipe used was PEX A.  Red coiled hose is for truck air brake lines, also used to air up truck tires - it was purchased at auction.  We used it to connect the compressor to the air lines system (maybe over-designed just a little?)
