Slab is unsealed, but has a few spots of carpet pad adhesive I'll need to grind off. I don't know why anyone would want carpet under/around a toilet and shower.
Already have a floor heat system in a box ready to go. Loose wire, as the shape of the room is asymmetrical. Will be butting up to short pile carpet so thickness is a concern, but have a little room to play.
I have to look for 1/4" Wedi locally.
Why's the tile fairy coming for me? What did I do? .....
Schluter's installation instructions for DitraHeat are to use a megger three times:Hey Jim. What's up with the megger tests... You must have missed this question of mine. I'll Bold it this time...
Jim? Does the company making the heating wire for Schluter in fact not megger test the cables like Nu Heat does? If so why? Is it a cost reducing measure?
Instead of being such a PITA, if you'd read their installation instructions (or take a class), you'd know that each roll comes with the factory value stamped on it from their megger test. See page 26 http://www.schluter.com/ditra-heat/media/DitraHeat-Handbook-2014.pdf otherwise, how could you record the factory value on the test sheet? Sounds like your fairy is more of a troll.You skirted the question with more cut and paste.
I asked if in fact the company making the heating wire for Schluter in fact skips the megger test. Nu Heat tests all cables I'm told before they get packaged. A little birdie said the stuff from Schluter is not.
I'm asking you if that is in fact true.
Lets start with mixing thin-sets that where stored in your garage. Next you'll tell me you had the bags sitting on the concrete instead of a piece of wood....

The cost reducing measure is not from , not performing the test , but from quality of cables .
Tell John he doesn't need to flood test his pans. Tell an installer of a floor warming system he doesn't have to test his installation. The majority of them will work...the goal should be to eliminate them all from failing. John would call someone who doesn't flood test a hack.
This is awkward, but...
