Tiling the entrances

Our friend arrives an hour late to work on tiling the entrannces, but that's OK. He's doing us a favor and he will stay until it's done. As it turns out, it takes all day, from noon to 8:30, before the job of tiling the front entrance and the kitchen entrance from the garage.

He did a really pro job, and had good advice about how to make the pieces fit together. John was also a key assistant, and had to go to the store twice.

That evening we marveled at how well it turned out. I did not want the tile to bump up against the desk, so there is one row with enough room for a wood transition. By limiting the border it is consistent with the style at the front door and remains simple but interesting. We have to wait two days, then clean it with vinegar and seal it.
