If you are looking to warm your floors with a radiant heat system, and have
typed "radiant heat system" into a search engine, you might find yourself

Dale,
Yeah, it's just that what goes through my head is often a lot more than I
feel like writing down. I understand that PEX can be laid down nice and
easy in one continuous flow but you can't make sharp bends so I figure you
can only get two rows into each joist bay, just a guess. Whereas,

Jim,
I live here in the city of Portland, ME. Where gardening is far from
anything to think about when the temperature (chill factor) is minus 5 As,
the wind is clicking at 25 mph and gusting at 34 mph.
Anyway, in purchasing this home the yard was a gravel park
the edge of a cement
patio on the fourth. Any ideas? Design? Materials?

Hi Dan,
They usually use PEX these days and you don't have to solder it either. You

You can even zone it . Depending on the application you connect the ends to

I think they are used mainly by model makers. I have one and I have used it
for cutting holes in aluminum chassis. It comes with a bit that looks kind
of like a drill bit except it will cut on the side similar to a router bit.
Thanks Larry. I am not sure what OBD-4 is though. I wasn't aware that ODB-4
was out, as a matter of fact, I never knew that OBD III was out yet.
I have seen some of your posts here in the past though, and don't doubt you.

Thanks for all the input on laying my floor. I think I will definitely

Dremmals are the power equivalent of Duct tape. They are a very high speed

sanding, cutting, and that sort of thing. I would just go check one out when
