bathroom floor + more...

we installed the electric radiant heat mat over 1/2" cement board over the concrete slab. we attached the cement board to the slab with thin-set mortar (the same stuff we use to install the tiles)-

normally, we would just install the tile directly to the slab, but we needed to raise the floor height to match the height of the neighboring room (where we installed the DriCore subfloor).
it also made the mat installation easier, because we could staple to the cement board.
tiling went smoothly; ceramic tile is so easy to score and snap- we didnt have to use the wet saw (which is messy and requires some serious clean-up time)

so now we wait 24 hours and then add the grout!

the ceiling tiles are awaiting installation, but we will first need to modify the existing ductwork in the ceiling so that we can get A/C into this new space.

mudding is complete!
