To over think things a bit Rick (I am slightly bored at the moment) Marcel's suggestion above also has a nice side effect in cool weather. The pour will heat up the water and in turn gently heat the pour after it begins to cool due to the heat capacity of water. Reading all those back issues of "Mother Earth News Magazine" about passive solar heating of greenhouses finally paid off! Ok.....enough excitement for one night.
