Doing soem "iffy" maths...
An 8'x6' obs is "roughly" 8 Cubic meters volume so you would need at least 5 of the extinguishers.. or one with 5-6kg capacity
They are for confined spaces... engine bays , equipment cabinets etc...
Sorry ...
Peter...

Doh No need to say sorry Peter, thanks for pulling me up on that Lack of brains on my behalf..It would have to be a teeeny obsy for it to work, mind you it would go with the 2"x2"x3" min requirement for a pier foundation I keep slipping up on

I'll amend the post and keep looking:icon_salut:

I do apologise

5FWD - X10 REX-10 Barking Dog Alarm System review by The Gadget Show
Does it come with an RSPCA Aware sticker if you use it in a shed... knowing my luck they would kick the door down thinking the dogs been left locked up in the shed all the time...

lol no one is that unlucky

Looking around for prices on the auto/piped extinguishers for cars and got a shock to say the least..

Found this though, ideal for a closed obsy ....

Automatic FE36 fire extinguisher | 1kg auto halon replacement

.Edit: As pointed out later in the thread this is not even close to adequate for protection of an obsy, for an 8X6 shed it would have to be around the 6 kg bracket i do apologise. Something like this would be better http://www.fireprotectiononline.co.uk/6kg-automatic-FE36-extinguisher.html

Also do power ones a bit cheaper.. wouldn't like to see the mess it'd make though

I think you can get dog alarms that detect movement outside a shed up to 6m away,

Starts with 1 bark then as they get closer turns into "i'm gonna bite your head off" bark if you know what i mean. And you dont have to feed it

As for fire, the car industry use a pressurised plastic pipe with c02 bottle, as the pipe heats up the gas escapes AT the fire. might be worth looking into.

+1 Vote for smart water too.

I think that was the plan Digz, not so much a sticky but just get loads of em and Quatermass

(when he wakes up ) sorts it all in one post.. nice and tidy bookmark to keep :hello2:

The problem making it a sticky, is over time it'll (more than likely) end up being a list of broken links. and stuck.

All the best

More of a mini tut of how I do animation in ps, its a bit crude but I thought id add it here..

!!First and for most backup data!!

Find the shots you wish to use, place them on the desktop (copy and paste) and rename and number them in sequence 1, 2, 3, etc

Number 1 being the start of the animation

1 open photoshop

2 drag and drop the first pic (#1) in ps

3 drag the second pic (#2) on-top of previous, change the opacity to 25-50%, after aligning with arrow keys press enter.

4 do the same to all the other pics, at this point you may want to recheck alignment. You should now have all the pics in the layers window. Reset all opacity levels on all layers to 100.

5 in layers tab click the "eye" radio button to hide all layers except the first pic (#1).

6 in ps, go to windows tab (up top) and open animation window.

7 first pic (#1) is now also in the new animation window at bottom.

8 at the bottom of that small pic you will see it says 0 sec you can/must change how long it will show in the animation, (0 sec will not show that pic) chose 0.2 sec or however long you would like the frame shown.

9 still in the animation window duplicate selected frame by clicking the radio button left of the bin at the bottom (same icon as duplicate layer).

10 in layers turn OFF eye for pic 1 then turn ON eye for pic 2.

11 in animation window duplicate selected frame again.

12 turn OFF eye for pic 2 turn ON eye for pic 3, duplicate that frame in animation window.

13 repeat steps until all pics are done.

14 press play and see if the animation works OK.

15 click on the first animation pane in the animation window.

16 go to file and save as web & devices.

17 in pop up change to gif. rename and save

18 enjoy

Any hoo I hope it helps some.

Regards
