    Find a different spot in your house to put it or hope you get lucky.

    I think it says 2 different surfaces? So I guess you ask your AO for an exemption on the floor bit because you have underfloor heating.

    Yes, that is what is usually requested in our district.

    We use scanners at work to find rebar and they can also detect pvc pipe and AC wiring. Not sure if they will pick up underfloor heating cable, theyre not perfect and its an art more than a science. Would a cantilever bracket on top be permissable?

    It's possible. However, common sense should come into it and the vetting officer makes that call.

    Had my local AO inspect my E-cat safe today, and all ok.
    So bang sticks got moved to their new home.
    The licenses only get printed once per moth, so with one more referee to be interviewed will miss this months lot , but with luck should have it next month. yey.

    yip, Buffalo River 10 gun E-cat.
    I paid $1050 from Serious Shooters on the first few they got in.
    I choose this one over the Kilwell because it came with the 'Ross' Australian locks rather than the Chinese ones.
    Out of interest its only got 7 rifles in it and its basically full... anyway my A-cat safe will be staying...

    I would of submitted my application in a while back but with so much o/seas travelling was hard to find time...

    Moved my safe into wooden floor area, here's what I did to keep the AO happy,
    Nuts from the inside of the safe and thread hammered to be burred over. 6mm steel as required spamming over 2 or more joists (in my case 3)

    I would be putting some timber around any exposed bolts (at least 1 looks naked) to prevent access to them. The determined dudes that visit your E cat setup are not the opportunist type thieves and nowadays come with battery powered disc grinders.
    Just a suggestion

    If they can find out how to get under my floor they're welcome to it but it is a good idea
