You can "amplify" the laser movement easily enough.  Rig a lever with
one end attached to the floor joist, the fulcrum attached to a rigid
pipe which in turn is attached to the floor.  Cheesy ASCII drawing
follows

======V====== Joist
            ||
        ----------------------LASER--->
        ||
        ||
        || Pipe
        ||
        ||
============= Floor
