Thanks for this feedback. I have heard this more times than not. "I got it from X place and it was colored (red, or white, or etc.) Don't remember what brand it is." Makes me think I'm stressing of which one unnecessarily. It sounds like most everyone just picks a PEX, puts it in, and has...

Looking for some wisdom on which pex to choose for radiant floor heat under the slab. I have to get some ordered ASAP. But I am having paralysis of analysis from all the types of oxygen barrier pex. To be honest in all my searching, I am not finding.... any.... pex that is failing out there in...

Did you nail the 2" esp to the girts to hold it up? This seems like a great option. I am planning to scour marketplace and find foam boards when the time comes. I am wondering if you start to get a couple layers, how to fasten them to the wall.

I am going to be putting up a 40x64x16 barn in the next couple months. It will be in W Michigan (Lower peninsula.) I am strategizing how I want to heat and insulate the barn. As far as insulation, in my uncles barn we put up 1.5" foam board between the girts and then he spray foamed over the...

Hello! I'm in W Michigan. Hoping to build a pole barn this coming fall or so. Will probably request some help with a floor plan/layout.
