A floor that shares heat.

Hanna typing: One of the biggest undertakings of the project has been achieved. After months of working on preparation for our radiant floor installation all the pieces finally came together a couple of weeks ago. Jonathan spent close to a week under the floor joists of two rooms installing the plastic tubing amidst dirt and limited space. Later, Zach helped install the tubes over a metal mesh grid that held them in place in what is to become the dining room and kitchen. When they were done the floors looked like an amazing art installation piece, ready for presentation in any contemporary art museum!



Today the achievement in the house is even greater. Two weeks ago concrete was poured over the tubes and mesh and tubes in the soon to be dining room and kitchen. A dark charcoal grey was chosen for the floor--this is a color that will show off both the tone of the to-be installed cabinets and the exposed brick that has been unearthed in these two rooms.

A powerful heat system has been purchased and is now running. The house is heated from the floor up, and it is warm and cozy even on the second floor.

We are now working on pouring a concrete wall in the bathroom and tiling two of the walls with some beautiful gray slate. High-efficiency Daphne plumbing fixtures have been purchased and are soon to be installed.

The days are shorter now here in Denver but they are still filled with excitement and progress at 1834 S. Clarkson Street.
