The Things We Do For Warm Feet

Now the Protegga (the orange stuff) is down it needed to be covered with a skim coat before putting down the heating mat. Once the mat is installed we can start putting down the tiles, but there are couple of things we have to do before the tiles go down. First the layout, second the shade of tiles and where they go, and third, try to get it lined up to the tub and door frame so it looks strait. So far so good. Here is a sneak peek at what we did today, a very long day and still not done. Which is just fine with me because we don't want to rush this part of the job, we only get one shot at it.
This is some of the skim coat going down. The white line on left side coming from the tub to the door is for the power leads from the mat to the thermostat. It is a little large and has to be cut in the floor a bit.
The heating mat in place. We even checked it, twice to make sure it works.
A sneak peek at the tiles just laid in place, a few more to cut. A small room takes a lot of time to coordinate, colour and layout are important.
