Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
My wife complains about anything that is under 80 degrees. We only have a few rooms that aren't tile or vinyl now. Either way the carpet is going, at her request. Just need to decide what to install. I like the idea of tile over concrete because I regularly see that combination survive water losses in homes. Seems like a prudent way to go.

The subfloor pex is the sole heating mechanism for the home with solar heaters being the primary energy medium but there is a boiler for back up as well
You sir, are a specialist in the art of discovering a welcoming outcome of a particular situation....not a mechanic.
My feedback add 11-12 ish before the great servpocaylpse of 2012
When we do the floor in the bathroom we are going to install the strip heater. I only need a 90W piece and will put it on a timer for the morning. I have the thermostat set for a bump in the winter time when i get up. Takes the chill off in the bathroom.
I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
As a pro I have got to warn you, particularly since you said your existing tile looks "homey".
1) 500 sf is a LOT of tile to start practicing with.
2) Unless you have a LOT of practice you most likely will not know it's jacked up until it's done. You can only demo a messed up job.
3) The material you spec'd out is on the more expensive end. (See line item 2)
4) If you choose to DIY be sure to check the continuity before, 1/4 and 1/2 way through your tile instal. Then check it before you gout.

I haven't forgotten you Bmac. In fact, I was thinking about doing all the demo work first , then calling you for the install.

GOD! My typing is TERRIBLE. Thanks for thinking of me. It's not impossible, and certainly isn't putting man on the moon, but it does take patience, GREAT LAY OUT, and patience. With a medium that has a finite dry time. And when it dries, it dries on EVERYTHING simultaneously, even things you didn't touch!
I let my partner Eric do all the tile, paint and DW finish (Actually,,, He wont let ME do any of those things) because he does a fantastic product (the practice thing)
Even though the demo is the cheapest part, anything I can save to put toward a quality product, and installation will go a long way.
