So in-floor is water pipes? I thought it was done by electrical wires. But if pipes are how we'd warm our driveway (if we had one; apartment scum here with a basement garage) then I guess pipes are good inside too.

Do we worry about earthquakes? Would we be better off with radiant in-ceiling heat instead for that?

My farfar was a cabinet maker, my dad was a woodworker, floor layer, tiler, etc, but I'm a nerd and have none of those artisanal skills. This is interesting as heck and it's a connection to my vestigial roots.

hot water for heating is what you call radiators, which are pretty common around the world

That seems to be the point of this entire sub-thread.
