Ain't no lurker, just a bit quiet lately...

The ones used on the project I am working on (we did not design the
mechanicals) are by "New Heat". The contractor told me they are laid on a
cured dry set mud bed then receive a thinset application on top with the
stone or tile laid on top - I don't know how the floor is actually "held in
place". Cost is my question - including running the electrical heating
element. The client in this house is spending >$30 million to buy and
renovate so cost is not an issue.

This stuff works great below grade Ralph. Have friends in Wooster who
own a tile store and their basement rec and bathroom both have had it
down for about five years. Pretty magical stuff.

Rudy (or Drew),

Who's this Eric guy?  Is he the one who everybody sends their dues to,
instead of me?  Or is he another lurking deadbeat Pinhead who should be
sending me his dues and has conveniently forgotten?

Meanwhile, if you will tell me the name and manufacturer of this fine
product, I should be most grateful.  And do The Tile People bitch about the
cost of running it, or is it so wonderful to not have your feet freeze for a
change that nobody gives a shit what it costs?

Ralph (Eric?)
