Re: heated floors

that panelling....

Sorry, past that, can't help you.

Thanks Rich.  I'll make a note of getting a better thermostat.  I may pick
your brain about this more when I get closer to actually doing it.
Hmmm...that thermostat'll be on the wall I guess.  I was contemplating
painting the room before the floor gets done.
Another thing about that room -
because it is lower it has a Cathedral-type 
ceiling sloping down to the
outside wall.  The outside wall was wood 
panelled; the rest painted.  I'm
thinking of finding some sort of filler 
paper to cover the panelling and then
wallpaper that wall.  Anyone ever done 
that?
