    Internet to the Garage - Trenching versus Wireless -Tips Wanted

    $250 to bury the conduit is great. I'll recommend the approach I took which is close to what you're thinkging as it was relatively inexpensive and I find it works awesome. Do the trench and conduit. Use GB ethernet cable long enough for single run from existing wifi router in your house to...

    Radiantec 4-circuit manifold 1/2" PEX

    New Radiantec 4-loop Manifold (1/2" PEX). Never had fluid through it. Used in system to pressure check with air only during installation. Then subcontracted boiler install and contractor removed to use his own manifold. Regret not having him use this one which is much higher quality. :(...

    Insulation over metal ceiling with room above

    It was my assumption that metal ceiling provides a vapor barrier. Maybe a bad assumption on my part. It IS already up and I should have had them install poly first but too late. Your suggestion about FACED batts with paper down is something I considered also. That might make the most...

    Insulation over metal ceiling with room above

    Can't seem to find a discussion that covers my scenario, but if someone can point me to existing thread, I'll be happy to redirect. My 30x40x12 garage has heated floor, sheetrocked walls with R-21 (vapor barrier in). Ceiling is ribbed metal directly on attic trusses. My plan is to insulate...

    picts of your in-floor heat set ups.

    LoopCAD was used. Flow target is about 1 GPM for each loop. Delta T is supposed to be 20. My installer insisted on using 100% glycol which I think is a big mistake. From what I read, this lowers system performance (heat transfer) and makes circulators work harder likely reducing flow...

    picts of your in-floor heat set ups.

    Have learned a great deal from reading all your posts. Had my system installed recently but not sure it's "dialed in" performance-wise. Hoping a few of you will be able to compare notes with me. I'm using LP tankless heater capable of 20K-125K BTU/h. Have 4 loops of 1/2 pex oxygen-barrier...

    The Best Light Fixture Ever!

    I’m outfitting a garage of nearly identical dimensions (30x40x12’H). Reading through the threads, the consensus seemed to be that high-bay style lights such as these are better suited for higher mounting (14’ and up). And they’re advertised for 15’ and higher. I had nearly decided that the...
