Re: 2 post lift near shrink cracks??

I don't know a lot about structural things but I have a two
post and a crack-free old floor. My building leaks like a sieve
but the floor is unaffected nor is the hoist.

I would personally do the following:
1. Talk to your contractor (even if you have to visit in person) and have him fix your floor.

Did he know you were putting in a lift? if so...

2. If you need your lift now, cut out patches, set deep footings for the hoist and bill the contractor.
When he rebuilds your floor, make him work around your hoist.

Good luck and keep us posted.
