Plumbing woes
Leroy,

What about installing it in an RV?? Small solar collector on the roof for
a direct daytime heat. I have seen the flat electric type, but that would
require some shore/gen power.

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.
