Great Video, appreciate the details!

Been using the Cerazorb for 3 or4 years now, works great. I’ve gone to cork as a replacement since Cera has doubled in price. I also use a horse feed rubber bucket for thinset. Still on the same bucket for over 5 years. Thinset just hammers out in the am smacking it on the sides after it drys. Or just step on the bucket.

Maybe that's what I need for my sore feet, other than the small throw rug that I stand on now. :glasses-purple-yellow-diamond:

Left a comment on the last video with Sal but for some reason it got deleted. Don’t remember saying anything bad, I never do. I’ll try to repeat it here since it could be useful to you or anyone else. Recently I got a 7gal bucket to be able to mix the whole bag of dry mix (thin-set, cement, fast-set, leveler etc) without ANY spillover. It is quite pricey $37 on Amazon but worth every penny. Also Sal mentioned WhaleTale as a device to suck all the cement dust away while mixing. WhatleTale works great but also quick custom cut $2 bucket lid will do the same trick. Just cut it in half and drill fitting hole the size of the vacuum hose you got. Works like a charm. The other half will leave plenty of space to visually monitor the mix (wet or dry) and for drill and auger mixer to operate flawlessly while extracting all the dust. Great vid BRT. 👍💪👊

Thanks

If you could isolate that insulated slab, would there be advantages to embedding the heating cables in the slab? Then tile directly onto the slab. The risk would be that the slab would crack and therefore the tiles would crack.

Thank you for this video! We're aiming to do something nearly identical but I've found very little info doing it just like this- foam insulation under just the bathroom footprint, and pouring the concrete short to allow for heat and tile. Cheers!

Can the floor heating system be used under an acrylic shower base? Is it effective or a waste of time? Do I need to use one heating system for the shower area and a second one for the rest of the bathroom floor?

Man and i worry about my space heater melting my wax flange lolll. Idk if you say how warm it gets i havent gotten far

Have you come out with the next video in this series?

Is there a reason why you installed the heated floor under the leveler versus pouring the leveler and then installing the heated floor under tile? Is there any benefit from doing it one way or the other? I just poured leveler to my bathroom and going to use schluter ditra heat duo and then tile it.

Putting your switch boxes pretty high

no mask when mixing thinset -5 points 🤣

Are you calling for an inspection? What state are you in? It will not pass if you are not a minimum 3" away from walls or structures, 15" away from the wall under the vanity even if it is a floating one. 6"-8" inches away from the toilet flange, and heat wire cannot be closer than 2 inches apart.
