I just moved here from Dallas a couple of years ago, don't rub it in!

I talked with our slab guy, he reminded me that I have a building that is slightly over the size it was supposed to be so getting a new building permit may invite more headaches. Oh boy!

I may talk to a radiant tube heater rep, it seems like the most cost efficient way to do what I want to accomplish. Bret is right though, that slab sucks away the heat so quickly so I'm doubting how effective a floor-based heater would be.

Or maybe... I'll invent a heated creeper!!!
