Looks great!
I'm amazed at the % of aluminum you have covering the floor! Warmboard also has a high % of aluminum coverage (100%), but it cost an arm and a leg AND it only comes in 12" spacing. Your floor should be incredibly efficient... I mean what with the insulation & windows you have put in! -AC

Looks good, I know you're ready to have that floor finished and warming the room already!

Thanks guys. I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel on this project. It has gone on WAY too long. Just flooring, trim, and figuring out the buzzy light issue and it'll be finished up though. I am excited to have my office back.

Have you tried replacing the dimmer with just a switch?
Dimmer switches never give you 100% on, it's something like 95% on. Might be worth a try. -AC

Yep, I tried it. It still buzzes too loudly for my liking.
Here is where I'm documenting whats going on: http://ecorenovator.org/forum/lighti...-lighting.html

I put some mortar into part of one of the ends last night. I only used what I had mixed up. It was a lot more time consuming than I had expected. I'm not 100% sure I'll do the rest yet. I had to find a way to hold the tubes down, since they tend to want to stick up above floor level. To do this, I grabbed some lathe I had laying around and screwed it down to the floor.
Thoughts, ideas, tips? Here is a picture I took this morning:

Ain't that always the case?
So you'd consider hiring someone to do the rest?

Nope! I'm learning way too much. The next room I do will be done different, go faster, and cheaper too. The one thing I did hire out (cellulose blowing) I'd like to try my hand at.
