Re: Garage Ideas
Too dangerous? Absolutely not. If you wish, you can put anti-freeze in
it.
Hydronic is perfect for a garage. Even if the power should go out you
would still have quite a while before the 15 - 20 tons of thermal mass loses
enough temperature to pose a threat.
There are some great prices for the pex-al tubing on E-bay!

Re: Garage Ideas
What I was thinking and I always wish I had is a floor that sloped towards
the door. Maybe with little berms to keep the water from getting too mush
to the sides. All the other suggestions are good ones....
