Radiant install with Crete Heat

We completed a 4400 s.f. slab yesterday, concrete was finished today, our first job using Crete Heat. Laying out the product took 2 men four hours with all of the cutting. My son & I (mostly my son as I get easily distracted) laid in 5000' of 1/2" hepex for 4 zones of radiant in under 4 hours without bending over.
What a pleasure. The last job we did this size took 4 of us 8 hours tying the tubing to the wire. The mason was also happy that he didn't have to worry about cutting the tubing with his diamond saw.
Snowmelt yet to come.
