Day 5 started off pretty much exactly where we stopped on Day 4 by finishing up the remainder of the 13 snow melt loops. Once all of the loops were installed, I took some time to add extra zip ties, making sure all of the pex was perfectly straight. I installed a Tekmar socket just in case I decide to add automatic controls at some point down the road. The socket was fairly inexpensive ($100) and I only have one chance to put it in (can't go back and add it once its poured). I ran a conduit across the front of the garage in case I wanted to add electric to the other side of the driveway after the pour.

The walkthrough was never meant for youTube but more of a reference video for me, however I thought I would include it as some may find it helpful.

At the very end of the day, all of the pex loops were connected together and pressurized to 50 PSI. It held this pressure for 3 days before we poured and did not move.
