Holy Cucumber, the week FLEW past! Does it do the same for you?

I've made enormous progress on the bathroom remodel here. Yesterday I got two of the three new walls up. The third one will go up tomorrow after I spend today in a cramped and dark space above a basement closet.

While doing all the demolition for the basement bathroom, I now have access to the underside of the master bathroom floor, although some of the floor is over an adjacent closet that has a partial dropped ceiling to accommodate master bathroom plumbing drain pipes.

I'll be in this space installing a very cool radiant heating heat transfer plates. Don't worry, I'll be doing a video or two today so you don't have to wonder what these are all about.

Suffice it to say the idiot builder who built the house I'm living in - and I blame the owner too - didn't spend the extra - are you sitting down???? - $50 to make sure the master bathroom tile floor was warm and toasty.

Did I fail to mention the master bathroom of my house faces north? Did I fail to mention that my master bathroom has THREE EXTERIOR walls with FIVE WINDOWS?

Did I fail to mention the master bathroom has two SMALL baseboard radiant heaters that barely keep the room comfortable when the outside temperature drops below 40 F?

After today, the tile floor is going to be luxuriously WARM!!

Here's the BEST PART:

If you have a master bath floor that's COLD like mine and it's over a basement or crawlspace where you have access to the underside of the floor, you can do what I'm doing!

You don't have to have a monster boiler and expensive radiant heating system!

You can install a very small water heater, about 100 feet of PEX piping, a small circulating pump and you'll have a delightful TOASTY WARM floor!
