I have a couple of questions for you carpentry guys.

I need to re-shingle the south side of my house, and I would like to buy a compressor and nail gun to use to re-side the house. The house has cedar shingles.

I was at HD's looking at compressors and they have a 6 gallon porter cable pancake that goes to 135 psi. the compressor is 179. I know it will be loud but it fits the budget.

I can also get it packaged with 3 nail guns, one of which is a 1" narrow crown stapler for 279. Is the 1" narrow crown stapler what I need to hang shingles ? If not what gun/stapler do I need and what are its psi requirements ?

Thanks, and once I get the compressor, you know the airbrush questions will be right around the corner..
