    Radiant seems to work good in cement. Did you insulate under it?
    How are you heating it?

    Sounds good,maybe in a few weeks ,I should have mine on the road. I will drive it up.
    Do you know of a source for the chrome striker plate on the vent windows?
    I am redoing mine, I have the gasket kit ,new handles etc. The chrome plate on the post is tired and I would like to change it while I am at it.

    Sounds like a lot of btu's?
    Have you had it sized? It is free from most supply houses if you know a plumber. They will estimate your heat loss and size it for you. I think it is possible to have too much.
    I am building a 5000 sq. ft. house right now with radiant and the boiler is tiny and hardly uses any fuel. My 2cents. If it is something that interests you and you don't know someone I would be glad to to it for you. Let me know.
