We are definitely one of those “pets are allowed on the beds” kind of households.
I’m one of those people who’s always cold and always wearing three pairs of socks, so the thought of warm tile floors has always been.Also, since we’re doing this whole major renovation thing, might as well go for it and do it right, right?
🙂 So today I thought I’d share some of our adventures with you and also walk you through the process if you’re thinking that this is the floor for you too!.So, once we had our.bathroom built back up.
to a plain, basic box of a room, we were ready to go.. We researched a bunch of different heated flooring systems and bought the one that seemed like the best value and the best fit for our skill level.. Here’s where we made our first mistake!.Now, all heated flooring systems are pretty easy to install, but you’ll find that some require some extra steps and there’s a big variation in the pricing on these different kits.
We went with one of the kits where you get a basic wire and then you pour self-leveling cement over it to protect it and lock it in place..
It seemed like it would be the most economical choice.I know it looks pretty scary in there, but this is when we started to get really excited.
Look at all that progress!“Well”, we thought, “since they’re here anyway, why not get them to move some of the plumbing and put the toilet and new tub where we’d really like them?”…and “While they’re here, why not move the door?
And cut a hole in the wall and put in a new window?Why not move a whole bunch of electrical too?”.
