Re: heated floors

Does your new car parallel park itself too, Tricia? Heated seats sound scrumptious but self-parking cars seem spooky.

I think that would be great too. Our newest car has heated seats.... I
never thought that was necessary but now that I am used to it I would
rather do without heat than do without the heated seats.

 Funny how we can get used to things we like so easy.

I had heated floors and ceiling when we lived in New Mexico. It

the bedroom cool. You never had heat blowing out the door when you
opened the door to the outside since there was no blower. I wish I
still had this kind of heat.
I saw on a fix it show where they can lay down the coils then lay
down some kind of cement stuff on top then tile or put wood floors
on top of it all. It didn't look impossible to do yourself.... they
kept saying to do a test of the current many times in the project
to be sure that something had not messed up the wiring while you
were working with it.

Jim, I suppose you can sit this one out ;+)
I'm thinking about redoing my family room (FR) next year. The FR
is on a slab situated between the garage and Florida Room. The
rest of the house is on a crawl, a few steps up from the FR. FR
has a good quality berber carpet that looks like crap because it
is a very high traffic area. I also have my 5 tiered light stand
in the FR and have spilled water and brown natural liquid
fertilizer on the carpet as well as hot choc when I stepped on the
cat. I'm thinking tile.

However, being on a slab, tile would really make that room cold.
A friend mentioned heated tile and I thought it sounded like the
tile might have electric wiring in them. But today there was an
article in the paper about warm water tubing under tile for
heating. I've never seen heated tile advertised and I'm
wondering how expensive a project this would be.

Do any of you have any heated-tile rooms? Any thoughts to share?
