Yeah I have seen the plastic ones and it makes it so much easier and faster to install it. I would highly suggest marking the floor incase you ever have to drill or cut into it later on.

I use to work contruction in my 20's but quickly figuered out it wasn't something I wanted to do the rest of my life. I got into financing and worked for a large national bank and now I work for myself trading stocks. I just remodled my house with my friend who is a contractor and i am waiting for the wether to warm up so I can seal the driveway and pour a concrete walkway to the garage. I'm going to lay down some pvc, copper, gas pipes and 4" sewer lines down because I might build a bar-b-que are this summer.

I used 2" chairs under 9x9" wire mess and wire tied the PEX to the mesh. The slab was 5" thick so the PEX is 2-1/2 to 3" deep. The oxygen barrier is used in closed loop systems to prevent corrosion. The water in my system is as clear as when I put it in. The most important thing to do when you heat a concrete slab is insulate the perimeter.

I have friends that tell me Cuba is a great place to visit but U.S. citizens had to go to Canada before going to Cuba.
