Patrick, Yes that is where I am planning to put my pipes as well but with another layer of insulation between the pipes and the screed, otherwise you end up ...
As much as I like 'Grand Designs' and the other offerings, mostly on 'Discovery' I too feel disappointed that they don't give enough detail... I have to admit...

I am sure this will interest a lot of people who are about to get builders work on their house from small extensions right through to full self-build projects....
Well, as I'm doing most of my build single handed, they could always film me talking to myself ;-) Hopefully the programme makers will educate as well as...
