Jim spent most of the day in the furnace room working on rerouting all of the Pex lines. Look how amazing this looks now! He ended up having to cut the hot lines because they were a bit too long; then he had to put new fittings and recrimp them.
Yikes - next step is to figure out the radiant Pex lines next. Jim was very diligent and numbered each Pex line and wrote intake/output on each when we first put all this in the flooring. However, that's been quite awhile ago so to make sure before connecting it, he could blow air in the intake and feel it come out the other side.
Jim had to put another support to hold all the radiant Pex in place on the deck...
After bringing over the lines, he has 3 of the 4 lines all connected to the manifold.
Another view - the pipe coming out of the pump will connect to the supply manifold and then carry that hot water up into the woodshop slab!
This is all that's left - two of the lines go into the woodshop manifold and the rest are for the very end of the metal shop because those are on the stairwell circuit.
He didn't get up to the apartment until after 4:30 - but he was able to finish the outside wall and the side wall of the master bedroom.
