There is a tutorial near the bottom of the home page, under FAQ's I think.

TGMC,

Open the pic in your image editing program. Most have an option to "save for web", or some such. You may have to reduce the

size or quality setting.

Update on my design.

I found a company near me that specializes in Radiant Heating and also does boiler plumbing and wiring design for $350. He came highly recomended from heatinghelp.com. I'm going to work with him on my new design. I'll have everything down to a complete materials list.

I figured if I will be spending the rest of my life in this house, I want to have the heating system designed properlly.

I have learned a TON about heating over the past 2 months and know I can hold an intelligent conversation about it now.

Here's their website.

Adam,
I thought of doing that but my driveway is gravel so I installed a zone to heat my pool. Might as well get as much out of this boiler as possible. :)

hehe, my driveway is not paved yet and I'm not sure how it's gonna end up.

I am planning on having an extra zone in case I ever get a hot tub :)

I've thought of doing it with a geothermal system. During the winter it keeps the drive way clear and when there's no snow or ice do for the rest of the year it could be heating the pool. I must say I was wondering if in some point in the future if I so happen to come across a used coal boiler that I might set it up the same way.
