Mark, Larry might not have told you the whole story. I heat with an inside the house wood boiler so I can,t store and circulate 1,000 gallons of hot water.
I have a bathroom in the basement that has no outside walls. When I built the house I dug down about a foot from the tub to the door and from the vanity to the wall. I have a seven foot by three foot area dug down one foot. I put two inches of insulation on the bottom and two inches around the perimeter. Next I put six inches of sand over the insulation. That bathroom is the last room of the single zone basement. The return line after the baseboard heater in the bathroom makes two runs the seven foot direction and back to the boiler. 3/4 copper was used for the underground runs. Added six more inches of sand before the floor was poured.
Just say zero degrees outside we go to bed with a warm house and a hot boiler. The fire in the boiler dies out in two hours. The next morning the house may be 60 to 65 degrees. Inside that bathroom after the door was closed all night the room is 70 degrees and the floor is still warm.
I got the idea when I was told of a guy that did that with electric heat. He dug down three feet put in the insulation then heat tapes then sand and he buys the electricity on the off peak time.
