Master Bathroom Remodel – Day 4

I’m a little behind in posting the master bathroom remodel project that we’ve had as I was sidetracked with 1) painting the basement which took me 5 days and 2) problems with Chrome loading my pictures.  I finally decided to use Firefox and so far, cross my fingers, things are going smoothly.

So …

It was a little unnerving to have our contractor tell us, at the end of Day 3, that his blood pressure was 180/120 so he would have to take the day off to go to the doctor to figure out what was wrong.  My response to him was “What are you doing here?”

Come to find out he’s one of those people who don’t have medical insurance and doesn’t like to go to the doctor.

When he returned after his day off he told us the doctor gave him blood pressure medication and advised him to find a primary care doctor and go for a follow-up in 30 days.

For now, all is well and we continue with the remodel.

On day 3, the Nuheat heating system was installed.  I’ve also heard this called radiant heat.

All the old tiles from the floor were removed in preparation to have this heat system added.

The contractor filled any gaps in the floor, i.e. between the tub and the sub floor, next to the heat register, next to the shower, etc.  This was so that when he spread cement like liquid it would not leak into the floor below.

The cement had to be allowed to dry overnight.

We decided to use a regular thermostat instead of a programmable one for our radiant heated floor since we just leave it on all the time.

And the end of Day 4 was completed.
