I never thought I would enjoy remodelling.
I never was a handy girl or interested in things like that.
Then I got a house of my own and started renovating it. I started small with just scraping popcorn ceilings, painting and sanding wood furniture. Now my skills have widened. I now can gut a room and tile without any assistance. I can put together furniture and even install lights. I am thinking about ripping up my living room carpet, adding cement board, then heated flooring and putting tile over top. I have done some research on the heated flooring installation. Everything I read online made it sound simple. It is just electric heated mats that go on top of the cement board. You can buy the mats from a local hardware store too. I don’t think I need to hire a HVAC contractor to do this heating installation job. I believe I can do it and save some money. It will be nice since I won’t have to wait around and time my floor remodel around a HVAC business. I really hope to get everything all installed in around two weeks. I already have the new tile and cement board. I just need to get the mats and tackle that project. I looked up worst case scenarios and the worst is not having a functional heated mat and tiling over top. I will just make sure to test every one before I seal it tight away. It will be so cool to have heated flooring in my living room.
