It's not new or anything, but I thought it was very interesting.

What if my whole garage floor is made up of gravel?

Hehe, winter here usually only drops to low 40s. In the rare even that we get under 30, we don't have any rain anyway. Good thing too, those systems look expensive.

I bet I could hire child labor for much much less to do this.

Probably... But you wouldn't sound as cool.

I think this might seriously be worth it.
Our snowblower died, and it's really not fun to be shoveling out the driveway after a blizzard when said blizzard is still happening (did a bit of that this year...)

If I ever move up north to a snowy area, I'd totally do it. I'd have it run through my roof too, that way I wouldn't have to shovel it off of there to prevent the roof from collapsing to the weight (I saw it in a visual novel..!).

Hm, what if the pipes break from an Earthquake?

Well, they probably reinforce it on stilts or something so it's earthquake resistant. Not everywhere has earthquakes though, at least not ones that would do any property damage.
If it did though, I imagine they would have to take up the cement and repair it.

This is used around the world. xP I've heard some cities run their hot water pipes near the sidewalks or roads and so prevent those from freezing, but I forgot the details of where that is, etc. >.<

Well my house fits that price range about right.... LETS GET IT!
Wait, my rents would never go for this! They should at least pay me to shovel....bastards
