Re: radiant floors

[Julie Rehmeyer <julie@math.mit.edu>]

Thanks for all the input about radiant floors.  It was particularly
helpful to hear the testimonials from people about the lack of need
for auxiliary heat on the second story.  I also appreciated the
thought of putting in the tubing downstairs but delaying hooking up
the heating system until it's clear it's needed -- *not* having to do
something is always appealing.

I'm still intrigued by the newspaper printing plate idea, and if 
tubing upstairs were necessary I think I'd experiment with that.  The
other idea I've heard is to use flashing, which is supposed to be less
expensive than those very expensive heat transfer plates.  But again,
*not* having to figure it out at all is even better, by far!

Thanks all,

Julie
