Okay, here's my solution. Since I'm in the body repair profession, My natural instinct is to use body filler. I needed 4 bases and each light hit the metal in a slightly different place. Therefore, I needed 4 separate forms. I took 1/2" plywood and outlined my light base by about 1/2 inch. I...

Clay with Burnished slate roof and trim.

That looks very nice. I have considered the floor pots but not the receiver. I like it!

I wanted to insulate. That was part of the reason for not doing radiant. 2" of XPS was crazy expensive. The gravel is already in and compacted so I would have to "compact" it another "x" amount or remove it. I'm thinking the 1/4" stuff would be a waste of money but I could probably get away with...

I'm not a huge fan of the drain in the floor. We are sloping the front half of the building to allow for slight drainage/car washing, etc.

Holy ****. That doesn't look good. Maybe that was the only place? (fingers crossed)

Great idea. I have already thought of putting a drain hookup for the water heater though.

After several months of building, I am about 2 weeks away from pouring concrete. Trying to cover all the bases on putting what is needed or wanted under the slab. Currently I have the conduit for all the electrical and plumbing needs. I really wanted radiant but I couldn't justify the expense. I...

Hey guys, what a great source of information here. For the last several weeks, I've been on here reading everything I can about radiant floor heat. (many nights until the wee hours of the morning until I can't stay awake.) I have been planning my building for a couple of years and really...
