Mr Old's Garage

We converted a 2 car attached garage into a living space. The crawl space above the former 2 car garage is so cold that cold air seeps through into the living space. Also, whats the cheapest way to add flooring? Its just the wood beams and floor insulation now.

I am looking for information on installing pipe in a concrete floor for radiant heat. I am planning on using plastic coil pipe connected to a gas water heater with a circulator pump. Has anyone done this? What should I do or what shouldn’t I do?
Any tips? Thank you.
