- We installed radiant heat to the main level of our house. In this video we build a tool to staple down the pipe, staple the pipe down and have the gypcrete poured.
So much fun watching your beautiful home progress. Thanks for keeping us posted!!! You both have amazing knowledge and skills!
Thank you!
You both have inspired me to do it! Last August I bought 18 acres east of Lake Louise near Glennallen. I'm arriving in Anchorage from the mid of Louisiana on the evening of 10th of May to visit my property. I plan to winter camp for a few days while I survive the land and start making my plans. I want to thank you both again for the inspiration. Love you both and God bless you all.
WOW, let the adventure begin!:)
Ana White it went great. lol lots of more d this trip. I was about a week short on my timing of the ice on the lake melting. I'll do planning on my next trip in March
Fantastic. The under-floor heating creates lots of extra work during the build but the end result is a lot better than using radiators. No corner-cutting here, just aiming for the best solutions for your needs, a very productive attitude. Well done for not taking the lazy solutions.
This has to be one of my favorite series on youtube. You guys rock!
Wow, what an interesting project. Thanks for sharing.
Radiant Heat is definitely the best possible system you could ever install. Love your video of the process.
We agree!
I've really enjoyed watching the dream of your beautiful home become reality. Members of my family have been builders by trade for many generations, hence the name. I started out working for dad when I was 14 and learned to be a Jack of All Trades. It's nice to see your family working together in such a glorious environment. Cheers!
Thanks Greg!
This project is really coming along and it's really great of you to share the experiences you both are having as your build this beautiful home. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has watched and thought of a few ideas for myself one day.
GREAT!
Thanks for the video of your pour I had never seen it done radiant floor is a great idea for you in Alaska as always thanks for taking us along on your forever home build
Thank you for watching Jake!
I saw that a lot of my "subs" are subbed to you. I'm happy to find your RUclips page! My wife and I are renovating an 1806 Stone House and we're planning on installing Radiant Pex too! Thank you for taking the time to document / film.. it's very helpful!
We had the benefit of laying our radiant tubing in the California summer, so the PEX was like butter! Aside from the Alaska part (we're in California) I'm right there with you with this project. My husband and I just finished our 2 year house build this past January and we went with a lot of the same materials you did and did almost the whole project ourselves - metal roof and everything!
+Matt Brownfield that's amazing! It's a lot of work!
We rebuilt in 2014 (North Alabama) with acid-stained concrete floors throughout the house and radiant heat (pex tubing). We also insulated with spray foam in the walls and ceiling. We have an electric heat pump which has never come on in the winter because the radiant heat from the floors keeps the house warm. Love your channel.
AWESOME!
You are the most amazing couple xx what a lovely life for the little man of yours to have such foundational teaching as his childhood, he will be so capable a man. I hope you both see what value you are for eachother and always let the other one know they are as wonderful as you are xx Bless your marriage and be kind to each other.
Yipee another big job done. But oh how wonderful to have those heated floors. Closer and closer to the decorating!
Yes, it's going to be nice:)
oh my- you made my knees ACHE just watching you doing all that work on the floor! But yes, radiant heat is SOOOO worth it! Great job!
Thanks a lot for providing this video
I'm an Architect, have studied this type of flooring
but sure it is nice to watch it being built in reality

I adore my husband but in my next life I want one like Ana! The jig made for the stapler was genius!
Hahahaha 70's shag! YES, do it! I remember the old kirby vacuum cleaner that had a rake attachment on the front to help bring the shag back up. Good times!
Love the weekly installment. Can not wait for the next update. great mod on the staple gun.
Thanks!
My back hurts just watching you guys, great job!!
It was a long day, thank you!
I'm in awe every time I see all the timber-beams etc! It's already a stunning home =) Great job, guys =)
Thank you Veronica!
Wow, that pipe lay definitely looked like a lot of work. Glad I only had to watch it being put down :-)
This house project is so much fun to watch. I don't understand why you don't have more subscribers to your channel because you two are excellent.
It was a long day!:)
Really nice to watch the teamwork between you two. Inspiring!!
Thank you!
it is so much fun to watch this series. i cant wait to see more of the interior finishing , all the painting and finishing decorating rooms.
70's shag and harvest orange refrig and oven... Nice!, I had to rewire and pre- re-plumb my 1885 home, the pex has not be terminated yet, but I hope this stuff good.You two are doing a great job on this most stressful project.
Wow, I got exhausted just watching the pipe being put down, I can't imagine actually doing it. It sounds like that was a huge task to complete and now you can move on to a bunch of the other things. As always, keep up the good work.
That homemade stapler is cool
Just got back from my kitchen with a cup of coffee, didn't stop the video for some reason, and they're just pouring this mess on the floor like wtf is going on haha! I had to back the tape a little as we did in the olden days and watch again ... :D
Thanks for watching, haha:)
What a great video! It is so nice to see your forever home come to life!! Thanks.
Wow. Thanks for sharing this with us. Seems like a really nerve wracking few days. Radiant floor heat seems like a great way to go.
It is wonderful!
Love that you put radiant heating in your home.
On the tube laying normally you lay the return pipe next to the feed pipe so that de heat can be balanced. in de video you zig zag. and this way de longer de pipe the colder it will be.
The best thing is to put the pipe in the way that you have done the video but with more distance. When you are half the maximum pipe length but you turn a rond and then place the pipe next to the pipe already laid. This way you get a balance of heat between feed and return.

The layout starts at the area of the most heat loss, usually a window or outside wall. Make a couple of loops then fill in the center. The spacing gives the available BTU for the room. 12" is standard in cold places 9, in warmer climes or interior rooms 24". The floor covering will restrict the heat available. Carpet will radiate half of the heat tile will, wood is in between. The loops are devided up in the zones which are controlled by individual thermostats. When it calls for heat all of the loops come on. If an area is running hot you restrict the flow to that loop at the manifold, but it is better to design the layout correctly. This is designed using a heat loss program and is not for the homeowner to just guess. This couple did it correctly by having it designed.
Awesome work guys! Looking forward to what is next. Jacob the tool guru!
A truly huge and amazing project by an amazing family. Wow!
Great video. Love the staple gun trick. I'll have to keep that in mind when we do pex again.
So happy for you guys. nice job on the floor.
No water resistant membrane? And no heat reflection for less heat loss in the material? Building regulations in Sweden are much tougher....Where I live in Sweden is approximately the same latitude as where you live so building houses for cold winters and to save as much energy/heat is what we do so I really get your way of building. :)
Amazing job. Still there is a lot of work but It's incredible all the effort you put it on. Happy to see how It become a home.
Thanks Rosa:)
Jacob, great mod on the staple gun!! That's a great Wilton vise you have.
He's a keeper Ana.
Couldn't agree more!
really enjoy your videos!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Awesome Job you guys, looks great 👍😆.
Thank you!!!
wow that concrete floor footage was so cool!
Glad you liked it!
although I'm enjoying watching the process I cant wait to see the finished product....beautiful home!
Me either!:)
Very nice! I love in-floor heat. We used Warmboard. If you ever do put down carpet, use a low-R pad designed for radiant floor heat.
All this heat prep... you guys are gonna be toasty come next winter!! I love the "he did not behave this way until after we were married"... I can relate. 😏
HAHA:)
It is looking awesome you guys. With the loops that close, it should heat up very quickly. I normally don't have radiant in floor heating (although, for a couple of days last year, when the hot water pipe developed a leak under the concrete slab, the kitchen floor was wonderfully warm ;-( ), but it will allow you to walk around the house in total comfort. Good job Jacob on the custom stapler.
The concrete looks like it turned out great. Will you be putting down floor covering, or perhaps leaving some natural concrete with just some stain. It is a bit rougher to walk on, but gives you the best heat transfer.
Still trying to figure that out. Thank you for watching!
Great. Really enjoying the videos.
love your videos of your house evolving. so beautiful. so happy for you guys :)
Love the way that you two work together. Radiant heat is the way to go. do you have to put anything in the water to act as an antifreeze. We have base board hot water heat and because of the garage we had to put a food grade antifreeze in the water. All in all a very nice job. Keep the video's coming, love them all. When you are all done you should put out a complete video of your house build, including some of your funny moments.
Man that is alot of tubing,I was going to ask if those were neighbor kids helping but I think the only neighbors you have are grizzlies! 😀Great idea on the staple jig.
Great work!
Hubert, Germany
always wanted to learn how to do this. thanks!!!!
It was so interesting watching the process! thanks for sharing it with us! Really makes me want to go out and build a home! :p
Great job!
Thanks!
Wow, this is super exciting!!! Great idea to make that little jig for the stapler. Saved a TON of money and did the job just as well as those expensive fasteners would've. It blows my mind how much things "cost" sometimes because it's not really what they cost, it's what they price them at! Any time it's a specialty item or indispensable you can bet it will be marked up to a ridiculous degree. Anyway, I love your inexpensive work around. Very clever! The floor looks fantastic and when it's 40 below and a thick blanket of snow outside you'll be looking out on it walking around all cozy on a nice warm floor! Are you just going to stain and use it as is or tile over it or what?
That a lot of house my friend.
loved the stapler mod....I'm sure it saved you hours, over all day....great thinking....
It makes good sense to get the pro's in for jobs that could take you ages to get done.. After all that prep work you all did it sure would have been nice to sit down for a bit ..
Yes!
You should patent that jig Jacob
Nice tool Mod. So important to know when to ask for help. Research first is always the way to do things.
What size and what spacing on the support beams for that 1 1/2" pour?
I came across this as I was researching dead and live loads for above-grade pours over radiant heating.
Did I miss it? What kind of boiler are you guys using? Got a Model or brand number# Also are there any concerns with the added weight of the concrete floors?
I assume the pressure test was good? No video about that. Man you guys are really handy! Quite amazing how much work you did yourself and how many details you thought of.
+Joshua Daniels yes, you are right! Pressure test passed. Sorry we missed getting video of it.
The northern conditions have stunted your help's growth, who now struggle to reach five feet
Its so easy to plant underfloor termo heating im 17 years old and i know how to plant termo heating 🙏👏
Great job! no cutting corners and well done. Kudos for the stapler hack that saved a lot of money. How is the floor holding up? any squeaks?
Ana. Hi from Fairbanks! What was the name of the gypcrete contractor? I like the way you did the install and was thinking of using the same methods. Thanks!
How happy are you with the whole system three years later?
How did that come out? Anything you would change?
Automatic like even before the video starts. :)
Is that room all on one zone? Can you have several loops on one zone? Can you reduce the amount of pex by not having the pex where the kitchen cabinets will be?
YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! :D
There's so much physical labor that goes into setting up the radiant heating. I'd never seen one get installed before. I'm curious about the thickeness of the concrete, for when the bottom kitchen cabinets go in. Will any drilling into the concrete be done to anchor the island, or is that what the little short wall in the kitchen is for? Thank you
So how about a 5 year update? How is your radiant floor system working out for you? Are you happy with the method you chose?
I would have used some plastic talon clips. In bulk they are under 8¢ each for 1/2" pex. I'm sure things cost more in Alaska, but 50¢ each doesn't sound right.
staples will rub the pipe as it expands & contracts will leak eventually that why clips are plastic!
@@John-pw7et I used plastic clips to do my second floor (and poured gypcrete over) but zip tied the pex to the wire mesh on the first floor (slab on grade) I’ve never heard of it rubbing holes in it, so hopefully you’re wrong… 😑
Lots of work ;-) Why is there no isolation under the tubes ?
Do they have a basement? Or the floor system already has all the insulation needed.
very cool!
Looks great! Any concerns about the subfloor moving or settling causing the gypcrete to crack?
I’m 3 weeks away from doing this to my sub floor. Trying to find more information on concrete mixture strength and thickness? Also does it crack bad drown the road? Any hints or tips would be great. Thanks
This is great looking and super efficient. But how are you going to anchor your cabinets to the floor without putting a nail/screw through one of those tubes?
Hey. Great vid. I wish I would be as handy (and motivated) as you guys.
Just one question....why didn't you do circles (i mean kind of snale form) for the pipes? This eayall the floor would be evenly warm.
How thick is that concrete ?
Any issues as time went by ?
Great video guys! I wonder if the staples are non corrosive as related to the light cement pour? Just asking , cause, I am planning to do radiant heating on my floors. Thanks.
I was wondering if it would have been possible to stain and polish the concrete and use that as a finished surface too? Thanks!!
I would think the half round plastic Christmas lights brackets with regular screws would be a less expensive solution... that 's alot for staples....
Hi Ana
Would love to see a video on how your home works off grid. Do you use a generator or? curious! Love the warm floors my dad put radiant heat flooring in one of his projects. Yes! I am the daughter of a contractor, love the projects!!!!!
This one is not off the grid. Thank for watching!
good mob guys
7 years later still functioning as designed ? Anything you would do differently
.50/staple? That’s crazy!
Hi guys! Can the GypCrete be used as the flooring itself? Is it strong enough or must you have hardwood, laminate or tiles on it?
Thank you and keep up the good work 👌
It needs to have a floor covering. Thanks for watching!
@@AnaWhiteDIY okay 👍, thanks 🙏
Hi, your concrete floor that over pex tubing, what kind of concrete is it?
Did you guys put pressure in all the zones to make sure there was no leak in the pipe before the pour?
Yes, they pressure tested it. I was curious about that too and asked. They mentioned they would pressure test it but I wondered since it was a pretty tight timeline.
she seems like a nice little handful
Hello
It’s possible for cold? Or only for heating
Is there a way you could put all the videos (the forever home) in order so we could look at the total process from start to finish, please?
T Wayne Moore just sort the videos by date...
I'd really like to know what make/model stapler you used and whether you used stainless or galvenized staples. @5:50, it looks like you taped over the brand name to make it hard/impossible to identify. Why is this a secret? Did the stapler suck?
If you provide links to the products you used on Amazon, you can make money off it. Plus... we'd like to know what you're using😁
I suppose you are ready explain why you didn’t simply by subflooring that had a groove-oriented for underfloor heating tubing to follow I expected it would be more expensive than plywood but it would also allow you to simply walk around and pressing that tubing into the premade grooves no Staples needed and I understand that the flooring has a small insulating value I suspect that it would only cost a when you calculated all the expenses involved in the method you’re using to the simplicity of using one of those prefabricated underfloor heating subfloors. Maybe you could check your figures against the expense of buying that kind of subflooring. I expect it’s too late now for you to change but it might be a good idea to explain your reasoning compared to buying the subflooring that’s already designed for holding the tubing for underfloor heating. Just a thought because someone else may want to follow some of your design options.
Curious about the radiant heating under your kitchen cabinets. I have an oil heated radiator under some of my kitchen cabinets and I cannot put any food in that area, though my silverware is always delightfully warm in the winter. Maybe radiant doesn't get warm enough to affect things?
+Connie DeCrescenzo that's a great point! We did leave piping out of the pantry where I store most food not in fridge.
Do you have extra cold storage space for food somewhere in the basement too?
You shouldn't put radiant heating under you kitchen cabinets because that could cause legionella for your tap water piping. (According to builders, here in the Netherlands)
Couldn't you reduce that risk after radiant heat installation by insulating the pipes in that area (under cabinets, etc.)?
I realize this is from some time ago but I hope you patented the tool.
Whats the name of the song at 11:00?? So cool!
