Am worried for nothing?

Got a basic shell up. 40'x56'x12' Contracted a cement guy to come on finish the leveling, dig a few trenches for drain and such, put down gravel, plastic, foam board, rebar and pex. Then pour about 45 yards of cement.

My worry is laying out the pex. When I started this almost two months ago it was getting in the 70's during the day, now some of the days are barely 50. If we start with 30 degree temps should I be worried about the pex cracking or not sealing properly? I thought about bringing the pex inside, but once brought outside it'll be cold in 20-30 minutes anyhow.

I've laid out infloor jobs in single digit weather, the pex is stiffer and more awkward to work with but no other problems.

That good to hear. Not sure what the hold up of the concrete guy is, but right now he's at least 3 weeks behind schedule.
