VERY COOL!!! Everything looks awsome, I really enjoyed the pictures and your work. It is all very well done. I am sorry for your loss. I lost my dad last May, cancer just *****. Keep up the good work....

My neighbor had the same problem, he had some slab jackers come in. They drilled a few holes and pumped in sand. It has been like 5 years and it is still where they put it.

Good luck with your pour. I did the same, stapled to foam then laid mesh over the top. Had 5 inches of concrete and sawn lines. I only have 1200 sq ft one zone 1200ft pex. heat is working like a charm. Im only like 30 mile from you. this weather has been great for you....

I ran the 3/4 inch yellow tubing (pex like) about 100 feet from house to garage. It was like $75 for tubing and $75 a peice for the risers. I did 1 trench 48 inches deep, put water line in, back filled a foot and put gas and 2 inch electrical conduit in. I know lots will say it is wrong or...

I stapled to foam then laid wire mesh over pex. I had heard of some pex floating. I had 5 in of fiber concrete and had then sawed the joints, its been 18 months and all is good. hope to get heat hooked up next week

I too had the same thoughts, I did it though. I put down a 6 mil vapor barrier then the 25 psi dow insulation boards. I did pour a 5 inch thick pad and as of now not a single crack. Not even in the stress cuts. I also poured a foundation first, so I have concrete foundation then foam then...

for my 30x40 I spent $2000 for the 2in extruded foam board and 4-300 ft loops of pex with a manifold, 6 mil vapor barrier and wire mesh

I will check it out thanks

I currently just have pex in the floor and a 4 loop manifold installed. I plan on using a gas hot water heater. The panel from Krell has the pump, expansion tank, air purge etc. It is mounted on a board and has an input and output for me to hook up to the heater and manifold. I have seen the...

Hello all, I am getting ready to order a control panel for my garage floor radiant heat system from Krell Distributing. I have a 1200 sq ft 5 in thick floor, I put 2in insulation under it and insulated around it as well. I have 4 loops of 300 ft 5/8 pex in the floor. They sent me a quote of $500...

I too am getting ready to wire my building. Where are you getting your lights? Thanks

I am in the process of finishing a 30x40 garage and had the same questions as you. I did do the radiant heat in floor. Here is what I ended up doing, I had a trench dug 12inches wide and 2 feet deep all the way around as a foundation. I then put 2 inch high density insulation panels down. Formed...

I got it at Menards was like $28 a sheet. I put the insulation down, stapled the pex to it and then laid wire mesh over it all. It worked for me so far

Here's what I just did, it is 25psi. It did seem odd to pour a foundation, put insulation down and pour 5 inches of concrete on top. It does create a thermal break, so far no cracks....

Is a 6mil vapor barrier adequate? It is awsome that there is so much inforation provided by everyone. Thanks
