    Big Maxx Heater - Horizontal Venting Slope

    I am currently installing the same Big Maxx unit and have the same question as Eric. Why would the manuals contradict each other? There must be a reason for the vent manufacturer to suggest the downward slope, right? Thanks, Jim

    Using R-foil under concrete for radiant floor heating

    Has anyone heard good or bad about using R-foil under the concrete slab when installing a radiant heat system? Also, could anyone tell me what the risers are called that you put under the wire mesh to suspend the wire into the middle of the slab? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Jim

    keeping garage dog in garage while doors are open.

    x2 for training the dog. We rescued our dog when he was approx 1&1/2 years old. Taught him to stay on the concrete pad outside my shop in a week. That was over 5 years ago. You could by a Sportdog shock collar and teach him that way also. They can't train themselves. Jim
