I wish they mentioned the super clever part about those pocket door hangers: they have no bearings to wear out because they would never be lubricated. At a time when small sealed ball bearings would not be available, all you had was plain bronze or babbitt. Which are great, except that they require lubrication or they wear quite quickly. The hanger on the door has about a 8" long, horizontal flat spot and that lays on the small axle between the wheels. As the wheels rotate on the track, the hanger ends up traveling left and right (relative to the wheel sets). The small axle diameter vs. the larger wheel diameter means that the wheel set can traverse the whole length of the opening (maybe 48"), while only moving a few inches under the hanger. All of it as rolling friction, never wear inducing sliding friction. That mechanism would last for centuries of continuous use.

Meh on the tile, first his mortar lines are all crap, they should not criss cross. It is clear he doesn't know why they are there. The reason they should all go the same way is so you can collapse those lines as you push the tile down and the air has a place to escape. This is tiling 101 and while his 10x10 tiles are probably going to be okay if you used this method on LFT it would crack for sure! Second, no spacers? why? It looked like trash when he finished, he was wiping it and wiping it but it still looked uneven. Use spacers and use some sort of leveling system. The difference is night and day.

Bit of This Old House history for those who might not know. The first showing of radiant heated floors was in the late 1980s, 1989 I believe and Richard actually installed it in his home. Then was filmed there.
@@Embermist69 First PEX pipe was made in 1972 before that radiant heated floor was made with copper that had plastic coated dunno how early those was made but my house is built 1978 and i have few room with radiant floor heat made by plastic coated copper pipe.

That 2.5 kw of solar power production being 2o% if daily needs is an overly optimistic estimate by a professional installer and is ridiculously optimistic for a modern family of 3-5 in a 3ooo-4ooo s.f. house in coastal New England which may draw a 3o-5o kw daily run when not sleeping. The best anyone can expect are 6-1o hours of productive solar energy in average day and average annual solar days of 19o-21o (allowing for 15o-17o days of fog, rain, sleet & snow).

It’s a nice convenience when the outdoor temps are in the trends or below zero. Even insulated garage door panels won’t be enough to keep heat in. Radiant heating is relatively inexpensive….comparatively. Texas has a bit of an ice storm and falls apart…this region the house is located is built for real winters.
I grew up in Wyoming in the mountains. A heated garage was your best friend. I remember getting up one morning and seeing -52F on the thermometer. Nothing would start except my snowmobile, and that was because it was pull start. I ended up spending most of the morning bringing people to and from work because very few of the cars parked outside would start.
It's something you do only if you have more money than you know what to do with, and even then I wouldn't bother. I grew up in Nebraska, not the coldest winters in the country but darn close. The attached garage is as much as anyone really needs to be comfortable, keep the ice off the car and the wind off your face and you don't have to walk in snow, I don't need to be in a 70+ degree environment 100% of the time. Plus at Thanksgiving and Christmas my Grandma had a 2-car refrigerator to keep things in while prepping for dinner.
Laying tiles is not particularly difficult. The part of the process that people usually screw up is the grouting by washing out too much of the grout from the joints when trying to complete the work. My most nightmarish tiling job was on a staircase. The carpenter who built it didn't align the stringers on each side with one another, i.e., the treads were not perpendicular to the wall. That meant that each and every tile was a parallelogram, not a rectangle. The other tiling must do is to apply grout release to the top surface of the tiles before grouting. That saves a huge amount of labor in the final cleaning of the grout residue from the tile surfaces.
