Do the research on what to do for hydronic heating for your area I guaranty if done correctly, you'll wonder how you lived without it.

I've done this before: 6 mil visqueen, 2" Styrofoam, 4" expansion joint for the perimeter, net wire fence (it's cheaper), to zip tie the tube to the netting (I'm going 8" on centers, with no run longer that 300") then the concrete, I recommend 6 bag mix to lesson the cracking. Stricke the concrete don't saw cut!!! up front costs is twice the cost of other heating systems but much cheaper to run. No more cold floors, and work when it is below 0, coldest I have experienced is -20. I know in the states we don't know the cold that you folks have in your neighborhood.

I'm running on, PM if you have any other questions. Your truck is fandamtastic.

Strong work.

Keep on keepin on

No I am cutting the back wall out to make garage a drive though. Then putting barn doors on both sides.
