New shop
I'm in the process of getting the permits and all the other crap needed to start my new Cubby shop & MIL apartment and have a few questions.
I plan on heating the slab with a Pex type tubing and probably a tankless water heater. This is pretty much unheard of here in Georgia so I don't really have anyone at work to ask and I know there is a ton of knowledge from our members here. I've watched tons of videos on YouTube but we all know how that is. Has anyone here installed hydronic heat in the slab? Pretty much anything like I'm building they always do a monolithic slab here because it doesn't get that cold(slab & footer are all one). Since I'm doing all the plumbing and slab heat myself I was wanting to have them pour the footer, stem wall and then they can start framing. That way I could do my stuff and not be rushed. I dread the day I gotta drag all the crap I collected for the last 15 years out into the back of my yard and cover it with a tarp until this thing is complete. I will probably have to sell off some of my stuff too. So, if anyone has any tips they can pass on please let me know. TIA, Todd

No tips buddy, but you mean to say, the Cubs are moving out of the "chicken coop?"
 You know the drill,

so you gotta tear one down to build another? thats no fun. been there done that. gotta do it again as my side building is wooden, and falling in slowly.
I'm not sure on the pex in the floor. Theres a special kind of stuff to run but I don't know the ins and outs of it. I'm sure someone on here will though.

Also Home Advisor and its free,
Oak, are you an AC guy? You should be able to handle the installation then. I did a few of those radiant heat systems in a slab, easy to do, you do not have issues with freezing temps, so no antifreeze, I never used pex, but I am sure it will last. I used braided rubber hose made for radiant heat, works fine.

I just did 7000 Sq feet fire station. You need to insulate you're slab from your footing. So pour the footing and then roll the concrete barrier around the inside footer. Lay the 2" foam insulation down starting at one corner working out. Lay the foam down tight. The goal is for the slab, and slab only, to be the heat sink. You do not want all of your heat going into the footer and subsequently, the ground. Roll out your 5/8" oxygen barrier pex tubing on 12" centers, and keep your loops or zones equal lengths for a consistent pressure drop across the manifold. I use strut and 1" sch 40 conduit els to bring up through concrete. Pressurize to 50 psi. Pour the slab.
Hose is OK. Pex is more economical, and lays down nice if it's above 60. If it's freezing while your putting the tubing down, you will have to use hose. We always put glycol in the loops. Up here it's suicide not to. Hate to go to all that effort and have something happen. Not quite as simple to change out as a 98%heat x

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
