*HBX Nightlife*Appena arrivato ad Holbox (HBX) ricordo che dopo il tramonto c'erano come due-tre ore che non sapevi bene come gestire, prima dell'orario ideale per riuscire a scoprire l'altra vita che sbocciava nel centro e nei locali notturni di Holbox.Purtroppo o per fortuna inizialmente io ero 100% maldisposto verso qualsiasi restrizione o limitazione mi venisse imposta per poter partecipare ufficialmente alla vita notturna di HBX. Venendo da 5 anni di libertà completa a Terceira, dove tranne rarissime eccezioni non ho mai dovute indossare la mascherina, e non intenzionato ad abbassare la testa allorché mi vengono richiesti compromessi che vanno contro i miei principi, mi sono auto-escluso dal poter entrare nella maggior parte dei locali notturni.Maschere, misurazione della temperatura, nome e cognome, telefono: NO grazie. Gli amici mi dicevano: "ma che ti frega, è un attimo, e poi quando sei dentro te la togli."E io: "Mi frega. Vacci tu. Io resto fuori, ma non mi presto a questo gioco come se fosse vero."E' così per un bel pò di tempo non sono mai praticamente entrato nei locali notturni.Loro entravano e io restavo fuori.Tanto la bella musica si sentiva alla grande anche da fuori.E quando sei a Holbox, essere dentro o fuori, credimi, non fa molta differenza.Ciò che conta è come stai tu. Il resto si modella intorno a te.Ciò che ha cambiato un pò le carte in tavola e ha in qualche modo eliminato il problema alla radice, è stato il conoscere uno dei top DJ che vive qua sull'isola. Oscar (Revolver) il resident DJ di Salma. Oscar che ho scoperto casualmente sulla spiaggia attirato dall'ottima musica che stava mettendo, è diventato da subito un punto di riferimento importante per me ed è stato l'innesco per mettere in moto la realizzazione di un sogno fantastico: tornare a fare il DJ.-------------Info Utili• Ottieni feedback, ricevi consigli sul tuo progetto online Entra nella comunità di imprenditori indipendenti di Robin Goodhttps://robingood.it • Musica di questa puntata: "Leftovers" by Birocratic - disponibile su Bandcamp:https://birocratic.bandcamp.com/album/leftovers• Dammi feedback:critiche, commenti, suggerimenti, idee e domande unendoti al gruppo Telegram https://t.me/@RobinGoodPodcastFeedback• Ascolta e condividi questo podcast:https://gopod.me/RobinGood• Seguimi su Telegram:https://t.me/RobinGoodItalia (tutti i miei contenuti, immagini, audio e video in un solo canale)oppuresu Facebook:https://facebook.com/RobinGoodItalia/ su Instagram:https://instagram.com/RobinGoodItaliasu LinkedIN:https://linkedin.com/in/RobinGood • Newsletter:http://robingood.it/toptools-newsletter • Per info e richieste:mailto: Ludovica.Scarfiotti@robingood.it

Episode TranscriptErin Holohan Haskell: Today I’m speaking with Dan Foley, president and owner of Foley Mechanical based in Lorton, Virginia. Foley Mechanical specializes in radiant, hydronic, and steam systems, as well as mechanical systems for large custom homes. Dan often shares photos of Team Foley Mechanical’s work on The Wall at HeatingHelp.com and wows us every time. Today he’s going to tell us all about snowmelt systems.Thanks for taking time out of your busy heating season to join us on the podcast, Dan.Dan Foley: Not a problem.Erin: First off, let’s talk about the term “snowmelt.” When people hear this, they may think that these systems will melt three feet of snow after it falls on their driveway. But these systems are more about snow prevention, right? Can you give us a basic overview of how these systems work?Dan: Certainly. So keep in mind I’m in the DC metro area. We’re not in the snowbelt, but we get a fair amount of snow and a lot of times we get ice. And every once in awhile we’ll get a 2-ft blizzard that does kind of cripple the city. So what we’re trying to do is keep driveways and walkways free of snow and ice so that they can be safely traversed.Erin Holohan Haskell: Dan, we’re both located in the Washington, DC area, and while we get some winter storms, we don’t get nearly as much snow as they do in other areas of the US. What are some of the reasons why your clients choose snowmelt systems?Dan: There are several different angles. The first, I’ll say, is safety and ease of access. For example, one of my projects was for a doctor and he needed to be able to access his driveway and his garage 24/7/365. No matter what, he needed to be able to get out. So it was important to him to have a clear driveway. And he actually had a very steep concrete driveway and when it was covered with snow and ice, he just couldn’t get out.Another client had a medical condition and his doctor ordered him not to shovel snow because of the exertion and he had a heart condition. So that particular client had snowmelt for medical reasons.Another reason we install snowmelt for a fair amount of clients, is aesthetic reasons. Not everybody has just a flat concrete driveway. A lot of times they will have cobblestones, pavers, bricks, and even stamped concrete. And all of those surfaces are difficult to shovel or would even be damaged if you tried to plow them. Those particular clients wanted their driveways free of ice and snow, but weren’t able to shovel or plow them, so they went with snowmelt. So that would be a particular small niche of a client that could afford it and have the luxury to pay for it.And the last one, I’ll say, really doesn’t fall into any of those categories, and it’s a small minority of the jobs, but we’ve done several of them - and that’s commercial businesses. So that might be walkways, steps, loading ramps, loading docks. Those they just need access to be able to conduct business and they can’t afford to have the business shut down because the walkway and the driveway is iced over. And that’s more of a utilitarian situation, but we’ve done a fair number of those jobs. It’s a small segment of what we do.Erin: How do you size your snowmelt systems?Dan: Very few people have any idea what these systems cost, so I don’t want to spend hours upon hours doing an accurate design and submit a proposal, and then they say, “Gee, I had no idea this system was going to cost me $80,000.” Or “I had no idea it was going to be $5,000.” Well, that’s wasting everyone’s time. So what I do is I use rules of thumb for budgeting, but I do an accurate design for every job we do. And that’s a must. You cannot guess at these. You don’t get a chance to do them twice. You get one chance. So I do an accurate design. I use software, mostly a software product called BootCAD that’s available online. You can download it. And it’s inexpensive and it’s easy to use.If you’re a contractor who doesn’t do snowmelt jobs on a regular basis and maybe doesn’t want to invest in a software for one or two odd jobs, all of the tubing manufacturers will do the design work for you. Every once in awhile, I’ll have an architect who specifies that the design must be done by the manufacturer, so even though I have the capability, I’ll call up my manufacturer and partner to do the design. And they’ll do a quick turnaround in a matter of days. I’ll work with Jan over at Mr. PEX and he’ll turn my designs around in 2-3 days (all but the most complex ones). And they would do that for their other customers as well. If you didn’t want to do the design or purchase the software or maybe the learning curve is too steep to do it for one job, the manufacturers will do it for you.Erin: Do you have a preferred type of tubing and are there limits to loop lengths similar to the lengths used in floor heating?Dan: Yeah very similar, but just a little bit different and that goes hand-in-hand with the design. So it’s all part of an accurate design. And the design software I use has a spreadsheet where you can play “What If?” What if I go to 5 loops instead of 4? What if I go 300 ft instead of 250 ft? I can see what that does with the calculations to kind of massage the output to what you actually want. But just some rough guidelines - We’re pumping glycol (anywhere from 30-40% propylene glycol) not water and it starts out ice cold. It’s whatever the ambient temperature is. And that’s hard to pump. So your loop lengths will definitely be shorter. And keep in mind these are just rules of thumb. An accurate design must (and I emphasize the word must) be done. But for budgeting purposes, for example, a typical residential snowmelt system I’ll use ¾ inch PEX tubing. I’ll put it 9-inches on center if it’s going to be in bare concrete. And I’ll keep the loop lengths at 300 ft or less. And that’s a good number because you can order ¾ inch PEX in 300 ft loops, so you’ll have very little waste. Nothing’s worse than seeing a dumpster full of tails that you can’t use. So I’ll order in 300 ft lengths and I’ll design in 300 ft lengths. And that’s give or take 5 or 10 ft as you lay it down.Some jobs may be tight - for example a walkway or a sidewalk. You can’t get bend ¾ inch PEX tight enough to get it in there, so I may go to ⅝ inch PEX or I’ll drop my loop length down to 250 ft. I rarely use ½ inch pipe just because it’s too hard to pump cold glycol through ½ inch pipe. The exception may be steps and we’ll get into detail on steps a little later, but that’s about the only time I’ll use ½ inch PEX and keep the loop lengths at 200 ft or shorter.Erin: What type of boiler do you prefer for these jobs?Dan: Well, when I first started doing snowmelt, you didn’t have a choice. It was cast iron 80% and that raised an issue because you’re bringing back ice cold glycol. Sometimes it’s 30 degrees or lower, 20 degrees, and you had to have protection for the cast iron boiler to prevent thermal shock and flue gas condensation, so you had to have some special valves and controls. That was 25-30 years ago when I first started doing snowmelt.Nowadays, for the last 15+ years, we’ve had condensing boiler technology available to us. And I will typically use a stainless-steel modulating condensing boiler. And those boilers love, absolutely love, cold water. You can’t come back cold enough. The colder the water temperature, the higher the efficiency. And we’ve measured efficiencies of 99%+ when the boiler first fires with cold glycol coming back. And the reason is that almost all of the heat from the flue gases is absorbed by the cold glycol. So, to answer your question, if I have my choice - a condensing stainless-steel modulating gas boiler would be my first choice.Erin: What do you think is the best way to control a snowmelt system?Dan: It all depends on the project, the job, and the budget. I’ll go to two extremes (and we’ve done them both ways). One extreme would be that the client might just want a walkway clear so he can go get his mail. He doesn’t even want his driveway done. And we’ve done that before. So we might only have 2-3 loops down a sidewalk. And, in that situation, the control package could be more than the entire project. That just doesn’t make sense. On those we use a simple on/off switch with a timer. Now I put emphasis on the timer because if you just use a light switch, you’ll forget you turned it on. The sidewalk is not getting hot. It’s just getting above freezing. So you have no idea it’s on and all you’re doing is wasting fuel. So we’ll put it on a 12-hr spring-wound timer. It’s a simple $15 timer switch and you set it at, whatever, 8 hours and after that timeframe it shuts off automatically, whether you remember or not. And that prevents it from running on and on and on and you getting a gas bill from Washington Gas for $2,000 just because you forgot you left it on. So that’s a simple $15 timer switch. That’s one extreme.Another extreme might be a client who has a long driveway, travels a lot, and they want it to come on automatically. They don’t want to have to be there to turn the system on when it’s going to snow. And for those we’ll use an automatic control. And we’ve used all of them. We’ve used tekmar, Caleffi, ETI, HBX, and some others with varying degrees of success. But what that does is it has a sensor in the driveway and it’s measuring two things. It’s measuring for moisture and it’s measuring for temperature. So both of those things have to be present. It’s got to be below freezing and it’s got to have moisture. That way it doesn’t just come on when it’s cold out and there’s no snow. And when don’t want it to come on if it’s just cold rain. If it’s 38 degrees and rainy I don’t want the system to come on. I want it to be below freezing. So it measures both of those things. And then we can program the control to operate at various temperatures, at various run times, slab temperature, boiler temperature. It’s a full-featured control where you can control the entire system. But it does come at a certain price point and the cost to the client may be anywhere from $3-5,000 installed. So you can see why that might be a system you’re going to use on a simple sidewalk, but on an elaborate long driveway with a parking pad and walks and steps that might be something you’d want to go with.And one other twist on that, one manufacturer that we’ve used and others might have this as well, but I know that tekmar has one with Wi-Fi control. And that’s great because the client can turn it on or off remotely. Maybe they’re at the airport flying in and they know it snowed. They can turn their system on remotely.The other thing I’ll do is when we know with 100% certainty that we’re going to get snow, I’ll pre-heat the driveway. So I’ve go maybe a half a dozen accounts where I have access to their system. And I’ll go in the night before when I know it’s going to snow the next morning, I’ll kick it on to pre-heat it to make sure there’s no accumulation in snow or ice on the driveway.If you wait for the first flake to hit the sensor to kick the system on, then you’re playing catch up. It’s going to have to heat up all of those turns of concrete before it’s going to start melting the snow and you get behind the 8 ball. And once snow covers a driveway, and I’ll use a rule of thumb in this area, of about 1-inch per hour. So let’s just say we’ve got 12 inches of snow and you didn’t turn the system on or you didn’t have an automatic system. Once you turn it on, expect 12 hours before that snow is gone - 1 inch per hour. And again, that’s a rule of thumb. Different densities of snow, different dryness, outdoor temperature, all of those things have an effect, so you’ve got to understand the limitations of rules of thumb, but that’s a good one that clients can remember pretty easily.Erin: Do you have any tips for installing snowmelt on steps?Dan: Erin, that’s always a challenge. And the reason is, if you think about the front inch of the step, it’s hard to get the tubing out near that edge. So that stays the coldest and there’s always a strip of ice near that step before it melts. And so the key is to get the tubing as closely as possible to the edge without getting to the point where it can crack or break the concrete. And we’ve tried various different ways of doing that, but it’s always a challenge.Typically we’ll use ⅝ PEX if they are commercial steps or wide steps. For smaller ones, we’ll have to use ½ inch PEX and just keep the loop lengths pretty close, but if you can imagine it snaking back and forth, it’s just a challenge to get it down.My good friend John Abularrage out of NY has innovated a solution where he’s using aluminum PEX, multi-core pipe, that’s stiff and he’ll pre-form the step contour into that and lay it down. I thought that was brilliant because it does make it a lot more simple and easy and quick to put it down. I’ve tried it before and it works well. I did not innovate that. John Abularrage gets all credit for that.Erin: It sounds like snowmelt has come a long way with advanced in technology as well.Dan: It absolutely has. I’m just surprised that in my market, which is not the snowbelt, we’ve got maybe 40-50+ systems installed now, over the 20 years I’ve been in business. And I’ve got a couple already lined up for this year. Relatively modest at about 1,200 square feet residential driveways. Both of them are using a cobblestone set in mortar, so those are always a challenge because of the mess, but we’ve done a fair amount of these systems and they have come a long way.Erin: You’ve been installing snowmelt systems for decades. Has anything surprised you along the way?Dan: Only that it better work because here we only get 2-3 snowstorms a year, so if you’ve paid all that money and if the first time it snows it doesn’t work, then you’d better be prepared to get there immediately - not tomorrow, not the next day, and you’d better leave now. And, as one client told me, “Grab your snow shovel.”A couple more tips that I’ve learned the hard way: If you have a snow sensor in the driveway, make a quick sketch with measurements on where it’s located and stick it in the boiler room because you will forget where you put it. And it’s no fun sifting through 6 inches of snow with your bare hands, trying to find where you think the sensor is and missing about a dozen times. By the time you finish, your fingers are blue and you’re frozen solid. So that’s one tip.The second tip I want to make you aware of is that if it’s at all possible, put the boiler and equipment in an indoor location, even if it’s in a mechanical shed or a mechanical spot in the basement. Outdoor boilers are fine and clients love them because they don’t take up space, but it’s no fun working outside in a blizzard trying to figure out why the boiler didn’t fire. It’s much more fun sitting on a bucket in a warm basement going through the wiring diagram and schematic to try and figure out why it doesn’t work. Again, two lessons I’ve learned the hard way.Erin: Thanks again to Dan Foley of Foley Mechanical for sharing his knowledge with us and thank you for listening. You can learn more about Dan and his team’s amazing work at foleymechanical.com. And if you have any questions about snowmelt systems, you can ask them on The Wall at HeatingHelp.com.
