thats right .. and if you use a secondary source such as a hot dawg l.p or nat gas or any forced hot air you can leave the slab at a low set point and use the hot air for a quick blast for the times you are only there for an hr or two Radiant floor when used for primarily floor working comfort is fine at 58 to 63 deg. you will (your feet and knees) will feel like you are in heaven. the operating cost is significantly less used in this fashion

I use a propane forced hot air "hot dawg" styled heater in my workshop.I set the thermostat at 37deg. when I'm not in there and just bump it up when I need to work in there.It warms up quick.
Watch your fingers.

I guess I do sound kinda cheap (I've heard that before), but in reality one friend is an operator who has a concrete buisness on the side with a foreman from his company, his brother is an electrician, and another friend is owner of a plumbing company. He'll provide the radiant set-up and hook me up with the right heater. The only downfall is the one friend who is a homebuilder pissed everyone elso off and is no longer friends with us. Therefore having the construction contracted out. I know we could probably build it ourselves, but everyone is pretty busy now, and I'm a landscaper so I will definetly have no time. Gotta get that boat on the water as much as possible when we can!
