Kenny and I discussed this earlier this year and need to scrounge around for a Crawler which I would gladly operate.

I had a nice pond in Ohio that I built myself about 15 years ago.

Have you worked with any geo units yet? I'm going with geo, pump and dump system, with a heat exchanger to run tubes in the floor of the garage. :evilgrin0039:

[zim-cat]

yes kenny we install a lot of those you will like it, vertical loop or horizontal. you will like that floor heat in the garage . we even have put those loops in peoples drive way to thaw the snow . i would recomend zones if you know what i mean those geo's are the way to go in new construction alot of money up front but well worth it , to pay for its self. id like to see some pics to see how your guys install it compared to us people down here
