Heated flooring and tile

I decided to tackle the tiling myself.  This was a bit more difficult than other project because 1) I installed radiant heat floor and tiled over top in one step (without self-leveling) - doable but tricky. 2) The tiles are 8"x24"Sant'Agostino Light Series and are very unforgiving for "less-than-perfect" walls exascerbated by the fact that I not only morter-seamed the joints with fiberglass tape but also painted the joints and the lower 4' with RegGard for additional strength and waterproofing.  Of the 100+ tiles in the shower, only 6 did not need to be cut.



Radiant floor heating in family (left) and master (right) baths.  I did apply two batches of levelling cement on the family bath and may have someone else tile in the interest of time.
