Yeah I thought it was pine. Aromic cedar smells awesoem but is so expensive. We have pine down here in our basement too but not those nice stones.

I am sure you can get as baked as you'd like because you know you're stuff. I can sew and do just about anything baked. Some things even better baked. :mrgreen:
Thanks .. I was baked during this whole install too..

Nice tiles...Just be careful with those spacers. Tiles are never 100% square,
so If you're not careful you can get out of square quick.

At this stage of my life I need to get baked just to motivate myself to do "WORK" I enjoy remodeling..even though its work. I get paid well for the jobs I do , so I try and shoot for perfection...After all anyone can do shitty work. and where we live that seems to be the norm..Im booked till march of next year already .. so its looking well for this year

Good attitude. If you do things you love then being fussy is a good thing. I love watching those shows where people have hired contractors and been totally ripped off with shabby work because anyone can get a contractors licence but you have to be sure to get someone who is qualified. Some of the workmanship is really horrific. I mean seriously, I think I cuold have done a better job than some of these dudes have done.

I hate seeing people ripped off so it is inspiring to see those shows where they get their houses fixed up for free and they show you how it is done and everything.

They are interesting informative shows.:mrgreen::peace:

Hey Vette, looks nice, I did a few slate floors in my time in the reno business and had a personal relationship with 4" T&G. We did a lot of summer cottage jobs and sunrooms, both tended to use T&G . I miss working a lot. The feeling of pride you get from a job well done, even if the customers will never notice the difference, still you know that it's done right, and won't have to be redone in a few years. Peace Bro,,,,,

I like the "flip this house ' type shows how some people think they are going to "do it themselves " and do it under budget ,and in under a week (if its a two week job)... and then watch them "CRUMBLE" when they hit a snag. or underestimate the job...

I find it hard to watch the "incompetent handyman " shows . I saw too much bad work that I had to fix while in the trade to find it amusing.....

As with this flooring that is true .. the spacers are just a formality they keep it kinda straight.. this a natural mat.. so the size's do vary on some ..In the end ..We are looking for a new floor that looks like its been there for years
