Sounds like it is time to bite the bullet, and build a shop. Seems to me you mentioned before the lack of a shop. How about building a garage, and using it for a shop. That is what I use. It will increase the value of your house, as well. Mine was so full of stuff, that I had a 14' x 12' addition built on for my sit on lawnmower, snowblower, lawnmower. I also put my air compressor and large bag type vacuum in there. Still got to run the lines for both. It really cut down on the noise, or will. I amusing a shop vac now, but have run the air hose through the wall. Now the real cleanup comes, now that I can see stuff. My problem is, I can't bring myself to throw anything away, as I just know I will need it. Some of it has been around since I started in 1975. haven't used it yet.
