Hi Kiddos!!! Your hard on me!! I got the chance to watch the first video yesterday before you took it down then I see it up again today so I watched it again, but this time it was nice to see a ending to all the work. Have a great day!!
haha! I tried 3 times to upload the video last night and UA-cam was being mean. so tried again this mornign with an alternate ending and it worked just fine.
Hi Bryan, Yup, those valves are very slow acting - A wax melts inside the actuator. Probably the most complicated part of radiant systems is the proper boiler setup. Did you have someone assist you?
Well that's awesome. I noticed the display said the outdoor sensor isn't yet connected. That's actually a very good technical thing to do. It allows the boiler to automatically lock out based on what you set for the outdoor temperature....also to turn it back on when the temp drops. That save you money by not needlessly running the boiler in mild weather. When you need domestic hot water it overrides that setting. Equally important, is the feature called outdoor reset. Following the setup procedure in the boiler book, the outdoor sensor allows the boiler to make warmer water as the outside temperature drops. You don't need as hot of supply water on a 35 degree day vs. a -10 day. I retired from HVAC service and will be doing my build next fall. I've never done UA-cam before, but like both of you, I'd like to share my build and share what I can because I can't take it with me.
Glad you all have toasty feet in the morning. The only drawback I see it is going to be a pia to run the PEX tubing from the New Addition back to your terminus area. But that will be a future project. Enjoy your new heat gain. Do you have an idea how much more your water cost are going to be monthly?
Since we don't pay for water, the cost difference will be in the heating, use of natural gas. And possibly electric to run the boiler. But I anticipate LESS heat needed from the vermont castings gas stove, with the addition of radiant floor heat, so we will see!
I notice you did not cover your walls with sheetrock before installing equipment Styrofoam is highly flammable an gives off a toxic films when burning. Just thinking of your safety. It's a code requirement in many places.
@@ColoradoMountainLiving the problem you have now is you got to fight around all those pipes and wires it's going to be a lot more difficult. You should have done it before
Nice to feel the fruits of your labor...on your feet!
It sure is!
Yaay!! Another box checked off the list!! Awesome footage of those Aspens!! Sure miss those! Smiles and blessings...

... Did you put thermal tubing in Viggo's chair ?? ...lol.. ......Great job Bryan ..
hahahah!!!
Great job Brian. Does this mean we are going to see lots of bare feet and lounging on the floor? Oh yeah, and the doggie thanks you!
You bet! Thanks so much.
Great work by you, Bryan! Question: After a race competition, how often do you train or begin training again? Thanks.
Thanks! Right now, bike riding is for fun and there is no running, as there might be a small ACL tear, so no training right now.
Hi Bryan,

Wow. Didn't know the intricacies. Nope he did it all himself!

Nice job !!!
Thanks!
Bryan c'est le meilleur il réussit tout bravo et bonjour à vous 🤗🤭🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵de papy Gilbert de France bisous bisous
thank you!!
Why do people constantly use slip joint pliers where a proper sized wrench could be used?
It's a matter of using the best available tool for the job vs. spending time searching for the ideal tool for the job.
@@ColoradoMountainLiving Yep, that's how it usually works out for me too, lol.
I notice you did not cover your walls with sheetrock before installing equipment Styrofoam is highly flammable an gives off a toxic films when burning. Just thinking of your safety. It's a code requirement in many places.
Thanks. We have plans to finish the room down there, just not yet. We didn't need a finished room for our inspection or C.O.
