Also, the structural integrity of a thin metal tube going through a roof/ceiling and planting in the floor seems a bit iffy. e: I could see maybe the bulk of the tail being consumed propellant and then the defective warhead being crumpled and unseen there

Okay, I like some elements of this. There’s too much going on, though the wood ceilings are cool. But the staircases. I like floating stairs, but this set appears to be missing the customary glass railing. Is this legal? Another one appears to lead directly to a bathroom with no door? ???

 No safety railing across the bedroom nook ledge. And the bannister is about ankle height when stepping down.  Star Wars school of design safety here

I think I would be ok without a railing, unless you’re the type who gets up from the foot of your bed. The spiral staircase makes no sense, and doesn’t save any useful space over a good usable loft ladder. I guess with a ladder you can’t really carry like a tea and a snack to bed?

Railings are there so that when you get up to pee in the night and bump your head on the sloped ceiling you don’t stumble off the loft and die. You’ll be ok without it right up until it would have saved your life. I’m also imagining someone getting sick, going to bed, and then being too feverish/ill to navigate the steps so they have to call the fire department to get them down.

Indubitably. In floor heating owns. My apartment has it and it's included in the rent. Gas boiler and water loops. However, there's no central blower in the apartment (and no AC), so air stagnates unless you open a window and turn on some fans. Also the boiler is the water heater for the entire building, so if you want a hot shower before noon, you'd better get in by 7am. The ground floor has the pipes in the floor, the second floor has the pipes in the first foot or so of the walls. I've never had cheaper winter utility bills since the complex pays for the gas, but I expect rent to go up this year because of the price volatility now. Ah, warm feet while poo poo posting.

Radiant floor/rad heating is so awesome and I'm glad it's finally having a resurgence in Canada. (forced air was king forever) I bought a outdoor wood boiler furnace for my place. The living/dining/kitchen, bathroom and hallway are all radiant floor on the first storey. The second floor has the loft, walk in closet, and master bath hooked up as well. All the bedrooms have aluminum radiators so that their thermal mass is minimal and their temperatures are adjustable within an hour. Hot water can be heated via a heat exchanger plate in the winter using the radiant floor supply. The on demand water heater I am looking at is propane and can double as a radiant floor furnace, so it would count as my backup heating source. Edit: when my brother was house shopping two years ago in Sault Ste Marie, a lot of the 1960s-70s homes were heated with forced air being supplied by electric furnaces.

Some in-floor heat crappy construction: I have in-floor heat in my house just NW of Boston MA, it owns in the winter and I love waking up to a warm bedroom floor in the mornings. My house is a ranch on slab built in 1959 by a well known mass builder for the area in that time period, and as with all large scale developers there's a fair number of corners cut or shortsighted decisions made in design. Take the floor heating, it's provided by loops of copper pipe embedded in the concrete of the slab. When new it works quite well, but uncoated copper pipe in contact with concrete corrodes over time as the concrete absorbs moisture from the atmosphere or the ground it's in contact with - leading to eventual and inevitable leaks in the piping and the failure of the entire heating system. At this point you have the choice to either a) jackhammer the entire goddamn slab to fix it or b) replace the heating system with something else, usually forced air in the attic. The systems generally have a 50 year expected life before the piping fails, I'm a weird outlier in my neighborhood and still have no leaks so I'm going to keep using my toasty warm floors until they stop working - but as of now I'm the only house on my street that still has functional floor heating so I figure it's only a matter of time. I use a flir camera to keep an eye on the system and check for leaks. Related to this whenever it does finally fail and I replace the heating with a ducted heat pump I'll probably get a huge efficiency bump by no longer heating the ground. I got to take a look at my neighbor's slab a couple years ago when he jackhammered a trench in it to fix his sewer line and there's only about 2" of 'insulation' underneath the slab before the sand bed. I have to imagine a serious chunk of my heating bill is currently going straight into the ground under my home.

Arrath posted:That is impressively over the top. Yet done terribly wrong all the same. Nobody competent has put copper in concrete for however many decades O2 barrier PEX has been available. That's also a laughably small run which surely won't be suitable for the purpose in either the short or long term. Concrete simply doesn't conduct heat that quickly/well. The loop will be above boiling in no time, no matter what GPM that's run at unless the heat load is reduced. It also won't work to sink short duration heat events for the same reason.
