27 sq. ft. bathroom, 10 cents a day, and initial cost 900 bucks to install, including parts.
We're about to do the same to their master bathroom, a whole 40 sq. feet

10 cents per day? Is that really what you meant Josh?

Yep, 10 cents a day. That is based off of the Omaha Nebraska electricity rate though. Minor changes depending on where you are.

Suntouch is the most efficient, and safest manufacturer of radiant heat floor warming products, check out their website sometime.

I think he thought that was what you were making, which is about what us Texas carpenters wind up with at times- Hence the warning about putting the jug down......

It's been a little while since I last saw that stuff. Working on the houses that I do, there is always a lot of everything and the big scare with the radiant flooring was always that there would be a break in the mat some where along the way and a few hundred sq. ft. of tiles would have to be pulled up to find the break, or there wouldn't be a radiant floor.

That would be bad.

That would be bad, too. Sometimes you just gotta love Texas. Tomorrow's forecast sucks, IIRC, won't get up past 54*, but it will be dry.

better than not getting above 32... here in Washington where it hasn't rained for a week. (Supposed to rain all the time here) forecast calls for rain next weekend, hopefully the clouds will insulate us some and warm it up a bit. Only good thing about the cold is my truck has no problem going uphill in the mud to park 'cause the mud is frozen.

It's a little worse than I thought. High of 40* and a low of 26*. I was wondering why the pond was frozen.
