Live testing of a kitchen for Radon before Granite is install

[Al Gerhart]

And what is the name of the granite? This might get interesting.

And what happened to all this "there are no hot slabs" talk?

No one ever said there are NO hot slabs. In fact, I know I've even said to you personally that it only makes sense that there WOULD be. Just not NEARLY to the extent that you were (and I'd imagine still are) making it out to be.

Welcome back Al.
As you can see the project did not die just because you refuse to give me the information on your source for hot slabs. You were invited to come to NY to fine a hot slab but you ran away. We knew you need a reason to claim that the slabs were not hot in the first place so we did take some real nice images that show not only the level but also the settings.

Unlike some people, we do not claim to know what the readings are, but we have been in contact with those that do, and every thing that we do is closely looked at by the people that know what they are doing.

Once our testing is over, we will invite anyone that wants to come to NY to double check the readings to do so. So Al, before you run and say that the test was not real, go buy a ticket to NY and bring your own tools.

As soon as I catch up with all that is going on I will post the images of the stone, Name, and readings. Until then keep your posts short and sweet. This is not a platform for your ramblings in an attempt to turn people off from the truth. By the way, the restoration guys win- no matter the results of this test.

Al, I know you saw what we wrote about how hard it was to get a slab. We had but the word out that we wanted a slab for a while, It was so hard to find a slab that moved the meters that it was not funny. The slabs that move the meter was way too low. The slab that we have has six spots that made the meter move and it was very high in the clusters. The funny thing is, you could easily cut a round the clusters and have a full kitchen with out including the hot spots.

This top was cut to include all the hot spots, so now we feel that we have much more hot areas than kitchens two times the size of this test kitchen would ever have.
readings is one thing, but do you know what these meters are reading? I have no clue and that is why a core sample was sent for testing.

Al I know what the NSRA guys will do if this hot slab do increase the chances of us getting cancer, but what will you do if it does not?

Here are some images from the testing.
The stone is call Niagra Gold

meter reading from one of six areas on the slab




Here is the lay out of the template as we did our best to keep all the hot spots. As you can see we had a lot of room to get our kitchen with out touching the spots and get a more attractive looking kitchen.





First cut

JO, I know that your apartment building in each units requires radon detector set forth by the state of New York. Question, Have your detector gone off yet ? Is it possible can you re-located in the view of the camera?

[Huligar]

sorry hoboal, the camera can not be move much at this time. once the test come down I will make some addions to the camera to give us full access to the kitchen.

NY does not have a law that states that we need radon testers in the apartment, we do however have a carbon dioxide tester.

[hoboal]

oh my bad..... Its good that you have a C.D. Detector.

[Huligar]

wow, thank god that is over, now I can turn on the ac and use the microwave.
I am go to send off the samples in the morning before I go to the remodeling show or I may just send them off when I to Baltimore.

The results should be here on Monday, at which time we restart the live feed and show close ups of the kitchen, and if I can get the meter we will retest the kitchen once more live on the net.
