Three Days to Warm Up and a Week to Cool Down (The In-Floor Heating System I Installed in Her Sister's Rec Room Back in Oh-Eight)
Liner Notes
[Intro] [Acoustic guitar - dry, picked in 3/4 time] [Verse 1] I put the in-floor heating in Her sister's rec room back in oh-eight Six inches reinforced with mesh PEX tubing sealed in the pour I told them it would take three days Before the thermal mass would rise But I never said how long it holds The warmth after the thermostat dies [Chorus] My heart is six inches of poured concrete With plastic piping running through the middle Takes seventy-two hours just to warm the slab And a week to cool when she stops calling You can bring propane torches to the job site But you cannot force the cure with open flame Some foundations are designed to store Way more heat than they ever release [Verse 2] There's salt rings on her hardwood floor From my Baffin boots in December Tracked the calcium across the grain When I came to check the manifold The pressure gauge read sixty PSI But the circulation pump was gone Now I calculate the heat loss rate In calories of what went wrong [Chorus] My heart is six inches of poured concrete With plastic piping running through the middle Takes seventy-two hours just to warm the slab And a week to cool when she stops calling You can bring propane torches to the job site But you cannot force the cure with open flame Some foundations are designed to store Way more heat than they ever release [Bridge] Engineers call it thermal flywheel The capacity to hold and wait A concrete slab don't care if you freeze It releases on its own damn date [Guitar Solo - pedal steel swells] [Outro] Three days to warm up One week to let go The PEX is still carrying What the thermometer don't show
