Plumbing woes

[Leroy Eckert]

I had the opportunity last year to install marble flooring over PEX on and off
grade. The first floor was not a problem. The second floor was a different
animal. Light weight concrete was used off grade and did not meet deflection
requirements for the selected flooring. I used a special antifracture membrane
with heat resistant characteristics to do the job. I might add, without
warranty. So far, so good. I think it is a great product if it is used to spec.
Unfortunately, plumbers do not warranty flooring.
The home is in Mountain Village, Telluride, CO. Very expensive joint.

My neighbor who lives across the street from our Mammoth Lakes house is the
plumber that did that episode of This Old House and the radiant heating using
PEX tubing. He loves the stuff, and can't understand why anybody wouldn't
use it. He's working on the contract for heating the new runway at Mammoth
Lakes Airport, using PEX plumbing and radiant heat. Pretty neat
stuff....pretty neat how all that radiant heating stuff works both inside and
outside. If
you get a chance to see that episode of Bob Vila's This Old House, it's worth
the watch.
