Stubby, either that's new or you've put your number plate on the wrong way round. Shed still needs painting, your not in your paddling pool or you've left the drivers door window down and haven't locked it. Arrrrrrrr just noticed you've put a
V-8 under the bonnet.

I get ve up.
 
Close. It is connected to a window Mike but not in the house.

Does this help?

Spot on Mike, first time since I put the Shed up. So now I need to put some reflective film on them like I did the garage.

Morning, is there a smoke test machine at the zedshed?
 
No Phil, l don’t have one.

I'm sure you could knock a smoke machine up without too much trouble, I used a new paint can off ebay with some air fittings and tube and made a heater for the babyoil soaked lamp wick using resitance wire fed by 12v, can connect to compressor or use cycle pump to push the smoke, old thread on here somewhere. Larger version also made using a concrete sealer can with a nice clamp on lid heat source for this one is a mains powered soldering iron with the wick wrapped around it. That one tends to overheat and trip the power out, may well convert that to 12v with resitance wire. Both work very well and will seek out any air leaks across the engine.

Following the same principle as @colb, I made a basic 12v smoke generator using a baby milk formula tin, some galvanised wire as an element, a fish tank air pump, baby oil soaked old cloth T-shirt and a latex glove. It worked a treat. Just don’t burn the t shirt rag.
 
ZedShed postponed for Sat. 3rd. Parts for main job not arrived yet.
