RE: heated floors

Hi again Kitty, Yes I've done that as well, the method used would depend on
the type of paneling.  If it's the usual 4x8 sheets with a small v-type
groove sort of randomly spaced across the 4' dimension, you could use a
plaster type filler and sand the paneling then paint or paper as you desire.
If it's 1" boards with a decorative edge put next to each other, a wood
filler or a "bondo" type of filler should be used.  When you need more info
on the thermostat, just let me know.

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?
