    Excellent! Your dog looks a bit tentative about the loss of traction. :)

    My son did the "precision" work, I did all the pack-muling, tile cutting, etc.

    Those are Advent Calypso, soon to be replaced with some Energy C-3's :D
    The Advents will go to the garage/workshop area.

    Thanks all. It was some hard work, glad I didn't try to "DIY" this project.

    Steve,

    Impressive!!!! Reminds me of the time (2 years ago) when my parents slaved me and had me build the brick patio... god... that was hard. I still get nightmares... it took me about a month and a half.

    I just noticed my camera makes it look like there's a dip in the center of the floor, must barrel distortion on the lens.

    Looks great. My back and knees hurt just thinking about it....My girlfriend tiled the front entrance to her house and it looks awesome. I highly recommend that as a way to really give your entrance some class. Trying to "hire" her to do mine since I am not talented when it comes to DIY projects.
