    Insulating inside cement blocks

    Ok, so my footing, 3 rows of block, and radiant-ready slab are poured. I am waiting on the contractor to get to throwing the building up, so as I'm walking around my beautiful fresh slab I was thinking about spraying some foam into the open spaces in the cement blocks around the foundation...

    Those of you that have insulated under a radiant slab.....

    My question pertains to the insulation placed around the slab, against the footings. Did you use 2" there as well? If you did, is the 2" foam gap between the footings and the slab noticable? a problem? did you do anything to cover, address this issue? As always, any and all advice is...

    I live in mid-Michigan and am building a garage this summer. After reading some comments here and elsewhere, I have decided to run the tubing in my slab for radiant heat. My question is whether I can leave it (full of antifreeze of course) for a year or more and not hook it up to the heating...

    32x40 New Build Radiant slab layout

    Attached is my proposed layout for my new garage (to be started this summer). I know the 5th line is a bit long, but I plan to just increase the spacing slightly for that run and just go with it. I like this design as it has the warmest water running on the outside of the building (fresh from...
