I was super excited about the idea of radiant heat. I did a whole bunch of research and ordered the system way back in August (we thought we would be putting it in in September or October...it finally got put in end of December/beginning of January). It turns out that it was a lot of work because of the structure of the house and the stove and Sam admitted he wished we hadn't decided to do it. I have a feeling we will be glad for it when our feet are nice and toasty during the cold Montana winters.

| This is the console for the radiant heat. |
We had to thread the PEX through the concrete foundation (Sam and Ben had made little holes throughout the concrete to accommodate this). The PEX got kinked here and there, so Sam ordered couplings so we could fix that.

| PEX! |

| We can totally do this, right? |

| Right. |
