You could always move the compressor into the house.... (Kitchen Laundry Room) wherever ya got 220v....
Here is a site you might want to look at...... It's where I got this info
http://www.mgaguru.com/mgtech/tools/tools.htm
Read AR-101 to AR-105
"The important thing to remember is not to get sucked in by ads touting 5.0 to 6.5 HP compressors that will run on 120 VAC. In reality there ain't any such thing. A 15 amp outlet is generally limited to about 12 amps continuous duty, and at 120 volts that's only 1440 watts, which is just under 2 HP. The legally honest lie about the power is derived from the flywheel effect of the motor under stalling conditions from top speed to zero, which has absolutely nothing to do with its ability to run a compressor"
There is alot more to read on the site

"LIFE IS NOT A JOURNEY TO THE GRAVE WITH THE INTENTION OF ARRIVING SAFELY IN A PRETTY AND WELL PRESERVED BODY,
BUT RATHER TO SKID IN BROADSIDE,
THOROUGHLY USED UP, TOTALLY WORN OUT, AND LOUDLY PROCLAIMING:
WOW.... WHAT A RIDE !!!"
