Should have gotten heated flooring
One of the worst mistakes my wife and I ever made was not putting in heated flooring. The many of us purchased a home and had a few months left on our home lease. It made sense to repair up the home before all our stuff moved in. So both of us decided to redo the flooring since it was the perfect time. Nothing was in the home or in the way. The people I was with and I agreed that the carpets had to go and brick would be our flooring. I did some research and realized that heated flooring would be straight-forward to install. After sitting the cement board, electric heated mats get sited down and the new brick goes on top. You can have evenly radiant floors right under your feet. Since the heat is electric it is silent, doesn’t stir up dust or rise to the ceiling to get wasted. A lot of people save energy with this type of oil furnace. The only con of heated flooring is it adds weight and height to the floors. The people I was with and I weren’t really worried about that. The only reason heated flooring didn’t happen was that it would slow our project down and add cost. My wife wanted me to finish up the floors instantly so stuff could transport in. Adding another step would take time. So both of us skipped in. Now both of us live in a home with frigid brick floors and have put carpets over top of them to add heat. Our current Heating and Air Conditioning device is also dying. If both of us had heated flooring, I would just buy a new air conditioning and be done with it.
