You -don't- use much air so you bought a 24scfm pump? Um, OK.

PS... we have two air presses. We don't use them very often, but when
they're both in service at once, we max out that 24cfm pretty easily.

Hunt around for another tank with a blown compressor on it and use the
tank for reserve air. It makes a huge! difference when using air
intensive tools. If you dont want to fill it up every day..simply put
a valve on it and leave it turned off until you need it. Open the
valve..let her fill and voila!

Ive installed 500 gallon air tanks in shops just for that reason and
its worked out well.

I have a couple of little 5gal air pigs I connect to mine for more
air, and it helped me spray my closet doors. The tips weren't right,
so I ended up warming the paint plus Floetrol after a 10% thinning,
and it went on a bit better. Now that I have the airless, I'll use
that in the future for furniture and larger jobs. The little Krause &
Becker sprayers from HF are just wonderful! It cost just $149.25 with
coupon while on sale, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I sprayed
an entire house and garage in a few hours (after 2 half-days of
masking.) It paid for itself in that job alone. The 15gal paint job
on a triplex fence paid for the pressure washer and the airless made
my life a whole lot easier. 'Twas 625lf of fence, and one medium coat
covered it well.
