Default Texas Concrete

I was quite surprised at the quote for concrete for Gtojohn. I had made a comparison in an earlier post between the wood floor construction and heated concrete slab and I still find the heated slab is less cost expecially when the extras (ductwork & heatexchangers) are factored out.

Now I do understand Gtojohn already had some wood But.
I think its a lot less work. Two to three days and you have the main-floor finished.

Mikesolar what do you think of two separate loops one for solar and another for radiant heat. instead of trying to heat exchange into one main loop.

Maybe another thread on some of these ideas.!
