Hi Capra, Your suggestions about finding the free stone is a good one, I'll have to remember that. However, the statement that marble is 15 degrees cooler than the surroundings is false. Just measure the temps of various items in your bathroom (at the same height since warm air rises) and you'll see that the marble floor is not any colder than the rest of the room.
