Rear tires look to be about 23.4 mm wider . . .

VERY nice!! Well done.

FWIW, I used PEX for air compressor lines in the walls to 10 locations in my garage. All are home-runs back to a manifold. Usual pressure in lines is 80-100psi. Built the garage 11 years ago and have had no issues or leaks.

Utterly fantastic! Thanks for sharing this video with us.:beer:

Looks like a nice location! Off to a good start!

Have always done well with Sherwin Williams -- used for 15 years. They have a 30% off sale this weekend as I just bought some yesterday to paint the house garage.

Ran mine out to the end and will (hopefully!) pave up to it soon.

Griots has a retractable hose reel with 60' of 5/8" hose. Here's the link: http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?&SKU=10509

BMW, One other thing to consider is using colored concrete. With a blacktop drive I wanted an area for power washing etc that wouldn't ruin the blacktop so I had a 10'x16' pad poured outside of the side garage door and had them put a brown dye in it so the muck and dirt wouldn't show so much...

Good luck, hope he can get you a better price!

Agree wholeheartedly. think that's why mine has held up so well. I'm in the woods and have a pretty good hill coming down to the house so concrete really wasn't considered. FWIW, was recently quoted $5900 to do about 4700sf of new drive with 2 1/2" airport mix from the same guy who did my...

Just got a Chamberlain 1/2 HP belt drive and love it. Very smooth and quiet operation. Would recommend w/o hesitation.

FWIW, I have a seven year old blacktop drive, 1100' long with circle in front of house and 35x50 turnaround at the side garage. About 2 1/2" of airport mix Blacktop was put down over a well compressed stone base (~4-5"). A close friend who's been a blacktop paver operator for 30 years says seal...

Thanks its slowly but surely coming together. Sure picked up a LOT of good tips here. The DOW board is STYROFOAM® Brand R-15 Square Edge 3x24x96 on top of 6 mil vapor barrier. Poured 6" of 4000psi concrete on top. As it was 101F today it seems it'll be a while until I get to see how it works!!!!

I have a 30 gallon tank that hooks into the boiler I use for the radiant heating -- I think it uses an integral heat exchanger in order to keep the radiant system closed. No shower here either. Problem with an "open" system as I understand it is you couldn't use antifreeze in it.

The guys doing the concrete ("they") are my contractor's crew so they're pretty versatile. The plumber left a kit with fittings and tools to fix any breaks -- along with a stern warning to be very careful wheeling the concrete so they didn't have to use it!

My plumber just used air to pressurize the syatem during the pour -- he's done over a hundred of radiant heat floors.

As I understand it, the most common (although infrequent) cause of a tubing problem during the pour is someone cutting the tubing with the block above the tire used for dumping the concrete. If they get a puncture they can quickly pull up the affected hose, patch/repair, and get on with the...

BMW, Just having those components installed now. Here's what I've got so far: (I'll get a better shot tonight) Most of the peices are there. Went with Buderus boiler (white box on top) that vents directly to the outside, black control box underneath then tubing manifold at bottom. Off to the...

Here're some shots of mine. Over 2000' of tubing in a 33' x 45' garage.
