Liberty Tile

We have been working all four ends of the candle for many months now. Yes, I know there are usually only two ends of a candle... Evidently, we just don't know when to stop or say no. So right after Labor Day I asked John if he thought we'd have time to install the tile in our living room before the book club came over on the 11th. He thought we would (and it probably would have been fine if we did not have anything else that came up requiring our attention). So we started ripping out the old carpet & pad on 9/4 and began laying tile on 9/6. Took Sunday off (but did take a picture, see below) and then resumed the project on Monday. John pointed out that asking him to lay the tile on a diagonal meant that he'd have way more tile cutting to do - but doesn't it look good? It was a family affair (even included kitty). We all tried to get it done before book club even cutting in the dark on the back porch. We did not make it, so we went to plan B and had book club on our back deck. That's another story.
