I posted a while ago. Got ok from boss to put in a hoist where I work. The floor has in floor heat.
Heres what I know: we have no blueprint of the heat tubes. The boss knows the previous owner that built the shop and called him. He said "the floor may be 5 or 6
inch, he cant recall, there may be foam under neath he cant remember, the tubes may be 3 or 4 ft apart he cant recall, and they may or may not be tied to the mesh on the
bottom" (who said pot doesnt affect your memory).
I had a local hoist company come in and look it over. They said they had a thermal scanning contractor they subbed to. After waiting 3 weeks I called him back and he
said thermal guy wont return his call after five calls! No thanks to him...I'll find another installer. I have searched all over to find a scanning contractor but find
none that do concrete. Only walls and electrical scanning. I CANNOT use the guess method. I pointed my IR thermometer at the floor and might get a rough idea but I
cant chance it. Getting it wet does not work either! The heat is too spread out. I just find this so frustrating. I cant be the first one that has done this so why is
there not a service that does this? The boss has money to spend for me and I cant spend it! wow
