We Make a Mistake Installing Underfloor Heating For The First Time!

[@OmaAdams]

Every time I click I think gosh I hope it’s front door day! lol but any day is good 😊

[@joanne.robert5576]

I too am eagerly waiting for the front door to go in 😂

[@Sheena-vt7kh]

Me too! But probably will be the last thing done 🎉

[@bevmc5061]

There is still much to do, I would like to see it put on as the finishing touch 😊

[@hrep14]

True, it's the only thing missing to give the facade a finished look.

[@MJPH5]

Love seeing a more DIY-friendly heated floor option after the massive convent kitchen project that Billy did. Cannot wait to see the tiles go down, and the kitchen installed - it’s going to be amazing! 🤩

[@mrsc120]

I’m getting excited to see the kitchen fitted now. This project is coming together beautifully, as expected.

[@jotann6430]

Ana you’re so blessed to have a husband who can do so many things! 😘😘

[@donnablake5358]

Glad you went with heated floors I have in several areas of my home and love them. Good job Edd

[@reginagraham9392]

That place is really looking great. Can’t wait to see the door go up.

[@jamesthurber4730]

I have only watched the Chateau series, so this is new to me , fascinating! Great work guys! Don't downgrade your skillset Ed, it's far, far, beyond the ordinary persons! Trust me on this one.

[@0halibut0]

I knew you guys didn't make a real mistake. Eddie is such a good craftsman. I'm excited to see what floor tile you picked for the kitchen, Anna!

[@amf004]

i was thinking the same after watching I was like what mistake! lol

[@markhudson5268]

I was the same ​@@amf004

[@deirdrecerasa3932]

Heated floors are a terrific choice! ❤

[@charmees6637]

It’s a good thing you know so much about renovations/ DIYing you always seem to fix the mistakes easier than most of us 👍😁

[@jolandavanharen2062]

Some Quality Time with Ed & Anna👍🏼

[@teepeeX]

Ed, you actually made it look easy, but I still think I'd get someone else to do, lol. great job 👏 👍🏽

[@jeanburgin160]

Wow that was a perfect fit Edd!!! You are so good at what you are doing. All the best to you all in 2025! Love following you and Anna. I love how you all save and bring back to life lovely old properties. I cannot wait until the AWESOME Blue door goes on the house. This was interesting ... I've never seen a heated floor installed. As always, great job Edd. All the best!

[@catherinemushaw1956]

Hi Ed and Anna 👋 Ed, you make the installation of the heated material look so easy, I might be tempted to install this in my hallway and kitchen area. Thanks for another great video. Love, Light, and Peace from Pennsylvania ❤✨️🙌🏼

[@AnneSmith-mu2ph]

Hi Edd an Anna been waiting for the up date love an blessing to your family Ann uk🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️

[@shannonreiss7473]

Looks so good in there! When u first bought the place I was so disappointed to see how bad it looked but look at it now. No one could tell what it used to look like. I can't wait to see the finished product. I live in Canada or I would be lined up to rent that place...❤

[@annettesharrock1236]

Nice job Edd as always loved watching .Thankyou Anna and Edd❤

That was impressive! Great DIY video

[@clairetremblay3023]

First my Best Wishes for you Ed and Anna. Good idea for that Floor. This room is going to be really more comfortable. Great eork as usual. From Canada.

[@joseluisrojascosme4018]

WOW Ed. You are really going all out for a rental space. But I’m sure you’ll get your money’s worth. And I had no doubt that you would be able to do the project. You are very talented. But Ana gets some credit because I’m sure she watched the video with you and she is supervising you. LOL. She is so sweet.

[@hosichasi]

Renters should have the cheapest versions and never luxuries. They aren't worthy of comfort and their $ is worth less....IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? ha good to know.

[@lindagage7315]

Good job Ed. Looking good!

[@tinacarrol6702]

Fantastic Edd.looking Forward to The Kitchen Going in Xx 😘

Bravo! Great work as always!

[@kathsmith4924]

you've certainly made a good job of the underfloor heating , great progress

[@Captain-KTS]

Under floor heating makes a room so comfy, great choice! I suggested it on Billy’s build, now he just needs to connect it up! Anna I loved that reel you put up on Instagram of the wedding in the middle summer, people standing over the fan. Ha! Cheers Kirk

[@eugeneboag]

ha Ha Ha ...what's this 'WE' comment...WE made a mistake ??....you're a pleasure to watch as you go about the project..appreciated

Another job of two crossed off the list 🤗👍☕🍰☕🍰🤗👍 Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤

[@joebacarella2829]

It`s coming along real well Ed, the floor looks great, can`t wait to see the tiling, be well my friend. Nice to see the back brace on.

[@artfx9]

I aint no back expert, so I am just sharing MY experience. Spending a LOT of time sitting at a desk and the only thing keeping my back good are back exercises at the gym. Works like a clock! Now, if I skip the exercises for a week, I start to feel it again and that's when the back can go into pain territory - no exercises beyond that point, just special stretches and rest. Once the pain refuces - back to the gym and it's good.

[@nancyf18]

Edd, Anna next step is tiles going down then the kitchen going in, I might be geting ahead of your schedule but it's exciting to see it all come together.

[@spudmurphy764]

I had electric u/floor heating installed in my downstairs wet-room - paid a pro to fit it and he did a brilliant job. I mention this because there was an excess of the matting - and he simply turned up the excess where necessary and took it up the walls - which were to be tiled anyway so no problem there. Might work for you, too?

[@janrey4629]

If you go under the cabinet you have to think about how the heat releases. Most food kept in a cabinet needs a cool, dark, dry space to prolong it's best lifetime usage. No worries if the renters know not to use the lower ones for food storage though. As always a great job you two!!! Thanks for another great video and now let's jump over to Billy's place!!!!!!

[@dickinsp]

How about something reflective on the bottom of the cabinets to help with this?

[@donnaschmink1801]

Well done!

[@merrileeheard3889]

Edd, we have underfloor heating that uses water. The only real downside is, we should have installed programmable thermostats to turn the heat down at night and up in the morning. It takes about an hour for the room temperature changes when you switch it by hand.

[@dorothystorry1733]

Good work at laying the heated flooring…

[@SallyTuckey]

Anna, that secret black-hooded figure keeps sneaking into your property; this time he was insulating the downstairs floor!!

[@sue7190]

Not sure where you are in real time but a tip from my electrician. Fit 2 sensors to the heating mats so if one fails you can easily repair . We have underfloor heating in one bathroom fitted by a different tradesman and the previous ged to fix it by electrician wired it incorrectly and blew the sensor so we had a brand new limestone floor and no underfloor heating. Our electrician managed to fix it by connecting a room sensor so that it now works.

[@paulhillman7361]

There is tape on both sides of the mat so it can be stuck down either way up, metalic tape should not be used on the mat or stat otherwise it creates a hot spot on the element or false reading on the sensor which needs to be in free space and not underneath anything in a tube so it can be pulled out and replaced when needed, i have had to do this when they fail.

[@alanlucas2886]

hi anna and edd

[@0210rokvist]

Best wishes

[@nigeldewallens1115]

I cannot wait to hear how the underfloor heating works? In that is it left on all day to slowly heat up and then maintain the set temp? It is very interesting! Not that I am going to do it but just interesting that is all! Well done on a good job done! Bravo!

[@daynight4902]

Best to you

[@andreechenier1958]

downstairs looks bigger now.

[@janeharris6925]

We use infrared belts on our backs and it really helps. Also need Omega 3, 7 and 9. In America we get too much 6 in the diet so we skip that.

[@pattyebricker4924]

Interesting

[@nelleg152]

Looked very fiddly ❤

[@lujesta]

Love the music choices on this video - happy, optimistic, and can-do tune to watch you two doing your thing! Great progress. Did I miss the mistake bit? 🤔😁

[@BordeauxLife]

Well the mat could have floated if it wasn’t stuck down enough …. Thankfully the mesh held but the double sided tape was meant to be used to stick it down

[@lujesta]

@ I see, phew, nothing drastic then! I had to pause part way through and finished watching the next day. I was feeling a little anxious when the levelling stuff went down. Imagine having to undo all that! Thanks for reply! Have a great day!

[@CindyKison]

What a job! I couldn’t figure out your “mistake” (?). It will be sooo nice to walk on the heated floor in the winter.

[@BordeauxLife]

It was not taking the plastic off the double sided sticky tape- it could have been a disaster if the plastic came unstuck and floated in the leveling compound

[@CindyKison]

@@BordeauxLife I guess I’m a little slow sometimes. But, it all worked out and it seems like the “installation modification “ will be okay. Thank goodness. You’re doing an amazing job.

[@southerncolours826]

I grit my teeth every time I see you bend to work Ed. You need to look after back. Do you need to do it all yourself Ed? I gotta say tho, its all look'n good. Can't wait to see the finished product. I already wish I could buy it. ❤

[@stevensmith9706]

Good Boy Ed!

[@BillyGold007]

The neighbours bin is back in front of the shutter 😂

[@GeorgiainCOUSA]

[@adrianabbott4623]

How do you electrically connect all the strips together to complete a circuit? Now you have put the levelling compound on how do you test everything? Or is that in the next video?

[@BordeauxLife]

It’s in the next video

[@artfx9]

4:57 Edward! Not on the floor! 😂

[@radiogramgramophonetoons5802]

👏👏👏

[@__X__O__O__]

Le sens dans lequel les rouleaux sont roulés montre que c’est le bon sens pour les dérouler et donc qu’ils sont bien posés 👌 Même si le double face pose question 🙄

[@SweetOne.]

I think you should have taken the paper strips of the sticky stuff before you poured the compound over it.. I can't see it being a problem though. Job looked good to me

[@miriammuskal5402]

I hope your job with the heating job on the floor works out

[@jnancy-pants3957]

How would you repair this if the electric on the middle next to the wall...underneath the leveling compound...goes bad?? Would you have to break the tile and compound to fix it?? Very interest to know. I am definitely not an electrician. Just curious how it would work. TY

[@BordeauxLife]

If it breaks you have had it! This is why it’s so important to check that the resistance is correct so you know it’s not broken….. it doe apparently last 30+ years

[@PhilG0BVD]

Ed I am confused if the mat is electrical elements once you have cut it how does the other elements heat up did you bridge them some where some how I only saw cables on the first piece you put down.

[@BordeauxLife]

I only cut the plastic - the metal loop that’s the heating resistance must not be cut otherwise it’s a throw away job!

[@PhilG0BVD]

@@BordeauxLife Just watched it again saw that you twisted it over at after the first cut missed with first watch.

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

Edd, you’re doing a great job, but I sense your back is hurting. Please take care of it. Not sure if you could go to a physical therapist. Under floor heating is so nice. You made it look easy enough for me to do it, but I wouldn’t dare do it myself! ❤

[@radiogramgramophonetoons5802]

Bonjour

[@stevenkaskus6173]

Hope the insulation you are laying down is rated to take the electric heating.

[@Monitschka]

👍👍👍

[@axelschmidtke8421]

How did you connect the mats, wires together?

[@BordeauxLife]

No you don’t connect them - you pull the wires back to the control panel

[@patriciaatkinson2435]

Ed, I wonder, could you please do one of your little explications with diagrammes so that I might understand how cutting the ends of floor heating allows electrical current to flow? It all seems like magic to me! 😅

[@phildwyer1488]

He doesn’t cut the wire, he cuts the orange backing and then turns the bottom of the ‘s’ shape of the wire to then form the start of the next line to be laid

[@aussiepastor4352]

Love the outside footage. Was wondering, are you allowed to "colour concrete stamp" the path in front your building? To have a nice uniform look.

[@BordeauxLife]

Not really but I can ask the mairie to do it

[@Jasonmarcnash787]

Thankyou for sharing another wonderful video. Always a joy to see the incredible transformation but a better joy to see Anna’s incredible shots. You know what I mean 😮🫢😂🤣😘😘

[@hedgewood7152]

✨🌞✨

[@musicman11]

Should you not have wired this up to confirm it works before applying leveller?

[@BordeauxLife]

That’s the point of checking the resistance - it was not defective so we can carry on with the installation knowing that it’s going to work fine

[@musicman11]

@@BordeauxLife i understand the logic for sure. I have always been of the mind to see something working before making it inaccessible. I guess It's the cynic in me, lol.

[@BordeauxLife]

I know what you mean, but the logic behind just checking the resistance is correct as it is simple technology…… now I just have to wait and see if it does work - I’m taking their word for it that it will work if the resistance is correct!!

[@anna-taniatransylove5762]

[@Rain-Peters]

Glad to see you wearing your back brace Ed. I have a bad back as well. Both arthritis and sciatica. Weird thing is I started putting certain fats into my diet , salmon, flaxseed oil supplements, avocado and such and the pain has gone from a 9 to a 2. Wonder if that might help you as well.

[@RickFlood]

and Edd, the next thing to go is your knees, so a good set of kneepads would be a really good investment.

[@judithbecker564]

@@RickFloodreally, really, REALLY great advice. Oddly, you will need your knees for lots of things over quite a time! It’s been a long time since I could investigate bottom shelves…and get up again. Please anticipate trouble. Much better.
