Raised flooring new
      #1968365 - 11/07/07 02:12 PM

I've got a stack of raised flooring and supports left over from my observatory construction. There are 22 full 2x2 floor panels and 4 panels with edge cutouts for passing cables up from underneath. The supports are 8" high, which will hold the floor at 10" to 12" above the subfloor.

If your observatory has a concrete-slab floor, raised flooring is a great way to go. You can run (and rerun) cables underneath the floor at will, and power supplies, network gear, etc., can be hidden underneath the floor rather than sitting at the base of the pier to get tripped over in the dark.

Anyway, this stuff is going to the dump soon if I can't find somebody to gift it to. If you or someone you know would like to have this flooring, please let me know.

How much you want for them? What fill do they have wood core or concrete? I will take all of them if you want to get rid of them.

These tiles have a formed-steel substructure and do not have a solid core.

They're free for use in an observatory for the cost of shipping. If you want to resell them, I'd just ask for a cut.

It occurs to me that I have *no* idea how to package and ship this stuff ...

I have one other person who says he *might* be interested; let me give him a day to make up his mind.

The selling or trading of items is best handled in the Shop and Swap Forum. I'm locking this now if anyone is interested in this flooring, please contact Terry via PM.
