TTC, do you do all your testing in socks ????

Nah, Do you think I'm stupid?/ I held the voltmeter, the chippie and the builder-director were in their socks doing the 'live' testing .
It was a bit like the Braniac experiments with an electric fence..
Edit: 701.753 stipulates fine earthed mesh (or earthed sheath) for bathrooms. Section 753 talks about UFH systems in general and does specify an earthed grid with a spacing of not more than 30mm must be provided above the heating element....
I may copy that and send it to the flooring manufacturer....
Here's a pic of the step with the 'hot' wooden floor
And a pic of the earthed mesh that the manufacturer supplied ( after much arm twisting)
