</style><div class="WordSection1"><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">I’ve had several roof installs lately that locating the rafters was not all that easy: older roofs, without prints, rafters spaced at irregular spacing, layers of shingles, etc which made it hard to use traditional methods (hammer / feel, removing trim). Has anyone used a heavy-duty scanner such as the Bosch Wallscanner D-tect 150? I guess Milwaukee makes something similar also. Or perhaps thermograghy? Fluke makes a nice thermal imaging handheld. Thanks. These tools are not cheap.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">Kirk Herander<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">Vermont Solar Engineering<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">802.863.1202 fax 802.863.7908<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">VT RE Incentive Program Partner<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">NYSERDA Incentive-eligible Partner<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">NABCEP<sup>TM </sup>Certified Installer<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></div></div><hr>_______________________________________________<br>
