    New Barn, Concrete, Heating, ROI Questions

    Thanks! This is exactly what I needed to hear. I feel as though sometimes "forum" mentality can over take common sense. If I had a pile of extra money I might consider in floor heat. It does not make sense in my current situation. What town are you in? Want to quote my slab?
