Use your thickest shortest extension cord that will reach.
Yeah the noise is bad. I've got the older grey one the same size as this. I switch it on and run away while it charges bwahaha.

Pretty loud, louder than my three piston belt drive. Doesn't bother me though for the amount of use it will get, especially when it will be set up outside the new shed.

Yea you can either buy the cable which is grey and make it your self or some electrician supply shops have them pre made. My dad has one that goes into a small box with two 15a outlets and two 10a.

Personally I can't see an issue with a loud compressor....It allows the "sorry dear, I couldn't hear you over the compressor" excuse to be valid...The longer you have it running the longer the excuse is valid and the more work you get done uninterrupted :D

LoL, and the louder it is the longer she will try to stay away for, until she finally cracks it and comes at you at about two o'clock telling you that you still haven't come inside for lunch!
