How do you have $144. in caulk does that include the house wrap? I'd put a support under the ridge.

Aren't all floor heating systems intended to be the sole heating method 😎

I shit everywhere these days - can’t really wait. Work is the best though - free TP and paid for my time!

On/off is cheaper because it just uses a basic on/off thermostat and zone valves.
When you want to have a floor setpoint you need additional analog sensors, modulating valves, an interface to set the temps, and controllers with appropriate i/o to monitor/control it all.
For most not rich people slippers are the right answer.

Yeah I mean OPs shed is beautiful, but they massively overpaid and spent a lot of time doing backbreaking labor they didn’t have to. Bet they learned quite a bit though! Oftentimes that is worth the cost alone.

I have a cement pad from where the property used to have a pump house sometime before I moved in, so they just anchored my shed to that. Has steel joists, so even less danger of rotting.

I'm going to guess that their system was something different at core (like electric) or something very wrong with the set-up.
For yours I guess others have laid it out - the temperature of the water flowing through should be moderate. I've had a mixed system of rads and floor, and quite clearly distinctly different loops and temperature settings (note some rads can be designed for low temperature).
For our radiant flooring, the heated flooring sections are never cold - they move slowly in heat terms, so even if the heat was cut off it would take hours to get to 'cold'.

have the floor too hot to walk on and waste energy to open the window, genius
edit: just realised you meant faranheit

I bet anything that the bag says pour in slowly, anytime I've worked with premix concrete I slowly added it to my water until it comes up to a consistency I like. Usually it's not the ratio of the bag says because of factors.

No that’s not how they actually operate and are perceived. You’re so used to losing a huge amount of heat through your feet warm floors feel amazing.

I have floor heaters and they’re always the same temp, don’t change based on room temp

I cant believe the doors snd windows were almost 2k. It's definitely way over-built as well, super great work above and beyond what most people would do

same. We also got a shed (tuff shed) in 2020 and it is a 12x10 and cost 4k. We built the foundation ourself and yeah I'd say around 5-600 for that.

>If you had hired someone or a contractor with a small team to do this, you could have doubled or tripled your budget. And it wouldn't have been as nice or strong as what you built.
oof. probably not. We got a shed installed at the end of 2020 and it cost half this amount, with a lot more of a foundation (that we built) and the shed being larger. Tuff Sheds are built really well too. They just bring it in pieces and assemble on site. Took them less than 2 hours...

thank you! not sure what their was, but ours will be liquid. and based on everyone's help, we'll make sure to set it up correctly from the start.

My project plans look slightly different.
For example, I have one phase of construction and it’s called “Shed? [Y/N]”
While I may not have 3D models, I feel I can convey the same ideas through scattered sheets of paper with eraser rips and lashing out at others.
If you require access to the reference materials, the majority have fallen behind the workbench so we’re both fucked.
Cost is three times whatever estimate I give.
Project duration is calculated using a similar nuanced algorithm.
