In Floor Heating

Well Brent here are a few answers to your questions. Yes we are putting the in floor heating on all the floors Here are a few pictures for you. As for leaks we are cementing all of our floors that is the new thing these days. We seen another house with it done that way here and we seem to like it. So we hope that will totally eliminate leaks. But if you look at the picture with the tubing all standing up in the air, that is all the ends. You run between 250 ft and 300ft of one continues tube which starts at one end and runs back to the same spot. So you hope that the only place for a possible leak is at the main values. But there is one possibility. You may run all your piping and have stapled a couple of 1000 ft and gotten almost to the end when your wife staples a hole in the pipe (with only two staple left in the gun), But the wife has a great plumber and he makes a magic fix.
Most places though run there in floor heating between the joist and put regular flooring on the floor. In the basement and the garage we just sip tide the tubing to a wire mesh. It was not hard work it just took a little time to run the piping in the right direction and get the right zones that we had wanted. Mackenzy, Pat, Cal, two girl friends, Troy and I did it together in different stages. It was quite interesting. I am sure that your brother can explain it better, and answer any other question, but we sure had fun doing it. Love Ya Nancy
