Are you getting yours inspected at some point ? I would talk to your inspector if you are.
Easier and cheaper to install it now rather than later.

Alder Burns wrote:Cooked up, radish greens are comparable with, and interchangeable with, turnip or mustard greens. I would just plant them whenever and wherever and find out how they grow by trial and error, eating greens the whole time. I like the greens better than the roots anyway, and often grow them in dense patches and cut the greens off and let them grow back for multiple harvests...

(Fish-fragrant is a weird Chinese term and has nothing to do with fish. She explains it in the recipe.)

What type of house ? How thick is the pad ? Below grade ?
This house is 5 feet below grade and super insulated. It takes at least 3 days to see any kind of temperature change inside the house. So the concrete floor will be very temperature stable.
That being said....
I will be talking to one of the largest concrete companies in this area, and will mention this to him at length. If he says wrap - we wrap.
Will be posting updates as i go.
