in THE MAIN WALL
all of dans books.radiant floor heating for the nonengineer is what started this whole obsession with me.I just started my floors up last week.Did the job on exsisting house I live in,pulled all the tubing myself did everything myself.now that its basically finished Im having post project depression..... Its great ,you will love it,DO the whole house.I have one room I didnt do and also an entry way. very noticable to go into a room with a cold floor.
But read yourself silly,ask all the questions you can.You are very fortunate to be in the planning stages of a home. spend the money it will be worth it.A lot of your questions can be answered just by reading the postings on this board.
Good luck
MIKE

    Start off with a good design

    If you've not done this before, get help.

    Start off with a good heat loss and a solid design, and find out if your supply house has a hydronics specialist.

    There are a thousand quirks to doing a design and install a service tech may or may not know.
