Message	I've had to go vertical and am now thinking about putting an air compressor in the attic over the garage. My storage cabs are mounted to studs in the wall but the toolbox and work surface is mobile. It's more convenient, I can pull the unit over to where I'm working. Having said this, I won't hang/mount anything on the ceiling over or wall beside the cars. Murphy's law ... SRC="http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg104/1911a1_ph otos/th_IMG_2633modified.jpg">
