Jet, I think that is just beyond what I want to do, I'd like portable. Also, my brain says tires will reduce vibration passed to to the floor/house.
Definitely get an oil lubricated compressor. If you can find something with a lower RPM run speed it will be a lot quieter.

Mine runs at 1150rpms and is more of a "Thump thump thump" vs some of those smaller ones run at 3450 and 1750 and sound like a weed wacker. haha
