bathroom floor is progressing

Bathroom floor update:

after the electrical inspector from ESA left, the radiant heat wires were covered with cement.
Here's what it looks like in the hallway.

Friday 5pm

It takes 24 hours to dry.

 Here it is 24 hours later, Sat. around 5pm.
Not dry.

 So a bright painting light was applied throughout Sat. night and throughout Sunday and Sunday night to use the heat to dry the floor.

Sunday's plan to begin tiling the bathroom floor was disbanded.

 But in the area that was mostly dry, we put down the testing strips for the pattern.

diagonal vs. length-wise.

It was determined that running it perpendicular to the hallway would make it seem narrow and the diagonal was too modern for the house (remember 1919) . also the length-wise layout matches the wood layout in the rest of the house.

Do you agree?








So what happened on Monday - the room had tiling lines places, and the cement dried. A new trowel was also purchased.


Tuesday the tiling finally began.
