Just walking around the streets in Europe is so cool. I love the architecture. Enjoy!

After sooo many delays my final slab was poured yesterday. Framing to begin next week. Feel like things will start to take shape now.

Nice! Radiant heat?

I've spent a lot of time around concrete trucks but I've never seen one with wheels up top on the back like that. Anyone know what that's about?

I did it in our family room addition 10'ish years ago - you gonna love it!

What is the floor finish?

[Barb]

Probably just polished concrete but we are still discussing.

How large of a house are you building?   Are you going to be walking distance to anything?

I built my house 21 years ago and did the whole thing with radiant. My wife’s feet were like ice before that lol. If my back is giving me trouble I’ll lay on the floor with a pillow and blanket and take a nap . 

2014 Switched to Geo , It was expensive but paid for itself. 
 

Spring and fall you may have some trouble controlling indoor temperatures, I would ask your heating guy about an outdoor reset control. It adjusts water temp based on the outside temp. 
 

You’re going to love it!

Every time I see someone grinding rails I just think to myself “ It’s East Coast you’re going to need those edges “

Olomouc is a pretty cool city too. The Czech Republic has some pretty cool history, great pilsners, and fantastic food too. Definitely hoping to be back here with students in the future.

Very medieval architecture!

Yeah the majority of the old city is built on and behind a fortress wall which is really cool. Their Christmas market opens in the city center this weekend so I’m bummed I’m missing that to see the place all decorated.

Saw this by Tamaqua today on my bike ride. Orange juice really hits the spot for me too. @GrilledSteezeSandwich OJ talk

 

[Kyle]

Shocking to see one of those with the “bedside” panels still in tact and not completely rusted to hell…. Unless the dirt is covering that

Really should fix the one sitting in Pops driveway

I had an old Ford Bronco. Loved that thing. It rusted out, wouldn’t pass inspection. ☹️
