Is the boiler still efficient when running at...

    picts of your in-floor heat set ups.

    I have a question for all the radiant heat experts. Obviously the tubing in the concrete is pex, but why does everyone use copper on their panel at the boiler? If pex can take the heat in the floor why doesnt anyone use pex between the boiler and the pumps/valves etc. Thanks!

    Well I feel better. I am not the only one that gets wound tight on touchy subjects... I lost it on our shop foreman when we were in a leadership team meeting and he suggested that we need to upgrade our toilet paper so that we don't look so "cheap" to the employees... I guess a/c shop, profit...

    This board really needs a "Like" button! I have made some skidsteer quick attach plates and also had trouble getting the plate just right. Then I found a local Mennonite guy that sells them for $70 so I just buy his and add whatever attachment I need onto the plate. Works for me. When you say...

    Oh I know. Just rattling his cage a bit. Combine a little OCD and a bunch of high tech equipment and amazing things can result.

    I also agree 100% about your comments on family business. You are exactly right. My concern, in my situation, is I think its IDEAL to have employees that are owners and running the company as opposed to owners that are absentee due to the fact that they inherited the business stock from a...

    As far as the business...this legacy will be passed on to someone who can run it. If he can prove himself and he can afford it I am willing to sell my shares when the time is right. Just because you are family does not mean you are capable. There are too many families involved that I grew up...

    Overhead track in shop- Unistrut or barn door track?

    Thanks for all the tips and links. I am leaning towards a curtain track system like some of the links that were posted. The thing I don't like is all the websites don't have any dimensions on the track. It makes me wonder if each companies track size is proprietary or if it's all the same? Venus...
