Was your $3000 estimate excluding whatever controls, pumps, manifolds, check valves, and heater that we'll need? (Shows my ignorance - I'll have to spend some time looking into radiant systems) Correct, my gyp cost of $6200 was just for the gyp. If we did gyp, we expected to tile over it, as I didn't realize there was a way to make exposed gyp look decent, and to wear OK. Is there?
You didn't mention doing our slab downstairs. You would do that, too, right? One water heater for each floor's radiant, or one boiler for all? The calcs show a pretty high heating load. (stupid view windows!)
I'll read some of your previous discussions from Feb 2010 on using the same heater for the radiant and domestic, as it seems odd to me right now. Seems you'd want the water for each to be at different temps.
Great tips on the other things, too. Thanks!
