Default Re: Radiant Heat

I'm doing draws on a house with almost that much over three levels of flooring...


Did I mention we're in Sunny South Carolina....

Northerner's with too much money....

Nah,

I only took it to remind myself how disorganized it looked on that visit...

It has subsequently been very nicely routed...

Marcel,

This was the best manifold pic I have, but they had 3 or 4 more of these throughout the house.

Not nearly as much copper used here as in your picture...

Looks good to me Mike.
Are they planning to pour a 1 1/2" topping on that styrofoam?
If so, I would think that an extra plate would have been added for a wall nailer and attachment of the future baseboard.
Just curious.

Marcel

I think (they haven't begun flooring yet) that they will tile or hardwood over it. I would have thought if they were going to do either they would have thrown another layer of subfloor over this to protect the exposed piping. I'll let you know how they finish these floors though...
I know I'm waiting eagerly to see
