Not to change the subject but man check out the white spots closer you have a couple ghost orbs in your race track pic!

OK after extensive thinking Iam still going to try my idea ="http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22535&highlight=yotachad" ,but in the mean time I am looking into getting a electric hot water tank its going to be a close loop! I have 250 ft of 1/2 inch barrier pex. My Q's are as...

For me to put in a 2nd service from the pole to my garage it would cost me about $2,500 and I am only 200ft away from the dang pole! So I went and bought 125 ft of under ground and installed a 200amp service in my garage for about $300 and that's paying for parcel help from the electrician. I...

I am going pex (1/2inch) to ball valve to soft copper(1/2inch) that I am going to wrap around my stove (its a old 45 gal oil drum so its round) to the radiator to the taco pump to the ball valve to the pex to brass T to put in the temp gauge back to pex to another temp gauge to pex :thumbup: ...

This is the kinda forecast I was expecting but sooner I kinda thought their would be some guy's on here that sell the product for in floor heat. In no way do I say that any body go out and do as I am doing Iam a penny pincher and I don't have a hole lot of cash so I look for new and cheep...

I wanted to ad with me using a rad I can put a box fan behind the rad and this will allow it to cool the liquid a little before it goes into the floor . If Iam not mistaken pressure comes before steam so if you have pressure and you have a low psi relief valve then I don't see any problems...

O I ll be sure to take pic's as things progress. I like to point out if things dont work the way I think they will, hey Ill have the pex and the insulation down when I do end up with a out door boiler!

As for controlling the floor heat I am going to plum in two sun pro temp gages in the farthest two corners of the garage and once they are up to temp I going to shut the pump off and shut the two valves off .

well here is what me the guy At the hardware store and a plumber came up with . Well the cheapest expansion tank is 40-50 (used old hot water tank) Iam just going to use a 3core Chevy radiator and I can buy different psi caps for that then I have a taco pump to move the liquid Ill have a shut...

I know that if you live near a menards they have the hose. I am sure that anyone that has the tanks for sale will have em most hard ware stores .

So I have been thinking with the set up I am doing I am going to need to plum in a Steam Pressure Relief Valve my question is How do I figure out what psi valve to get. I need to do this to protect my set up if liquid gets to hot and ends up going to steam so I assume that if I put it before the...

Your the shiznit you DA man this is one hell of a project! :drool: :rocker: like said previously 'Iam going back to my 24X24 man cave' with dirt floor. IAM KEEPING ALL MY GUNS now who am I voting for :headscrat

Well Iam one more step closer. I got my 4yr project pulled out and the garage is cleaned up. I feel guilty cause its just laying on its frame out side:(. OK what is better shielded pex or non also is their a good, better and best circulation pump? How big of a tank do I need I only have a...

I was not thinking of water in the lines thoe . I live close to a Menard's and they have some special mix of stuff to put into the lines and it don't freeze. I have been told to watch out for that it don't get to hot or the heat might crack the floor is this true? What would the valving be for ?
