If you can find an alternate way to post your pics it will be welcomed. Some of us don't use Facebook.

Ditto - thanks for sharing photos.  Can't help you with radiant heat, I used heat exchangers in both my home and shop.

You will need to use a tempering valve to cool the water going into the floor.i belie e the Max temp for the floor is 120*
