[TheForge] Shop Air using Copper

[sos at frii.com]

Thanks Frosty, good point.
I'm not sure if it applies or not--the plumbing will be buried in the
crushed stone that goes under the concrete slab, not actually in the slab.
This leaves the question of how stuff gets from under to above; yet to be
discussed.

Thanks for adding the part about hydronic heat, we are using that (in the
house, not the shop). One more thing to keep an eye on the hvac guy.
