I was thinking of ways to make my crawlspace cleaner, and at the same time add a bit of low heat, then I had the great idea of putting tiles, and adding a perimeter heating pad (not the whole thing, would probably be way too expensive to run 24/7). The crawlspace is rough cement so I'd have to lay new tile cement and find a way to ensure everything is level before starting. Probably lay a small thickness of normal cement, let it dry, then do the tiles. I never did tile before but I have a basic understanding of what is involved and I'd read up more when the time comes. I'm just wondering if tiling such a large area would work well, and how much it would cost to run the heat pad all around. I'm guessing the crawlspace is about 600 square feet, maybe a bit more. This is a picture of it for comparison. This would also work as a nice way to practice installing tile as if I screw up here it would not be as big of an issue, so when I come to do a real job I'd know how to do it.  more
