Work In Progress! This was a good size patio. 

Slate

These are 12x12 Slate Tile blocks that Jube and I installed on a large outside patio. We installed right over the existing concrete slab after first sealing up the large tributaries running thrutout.

I also added solid Oak reducer for the trim work. This was a challenge to manage all the heights differentials descrepancies, while not scratching up her beautiful hardwood floors. 

Man... that fireplace is clean! :-) 

A close up of the fireplace alteration. 

The AFTER shot!! Looking good and matching the other new installations thruout the house. 

This was a special project for Teresa. She had some dated tiles in front of her fireplace that she wanted swapped out and dressed up. 

Another view showing the branch around hallway corners. We actually built little walkway planks for the residents so they could access rooms at night while the thinset was drying. Even in the sleepy state of the mornings... no one ever fell off the planks. :-)

Up close and personal with the tile, reducer and moulding work. Straight as an arrow... 'cause I used my 'good eye'. :-). An eye like an Eagle.... a dead one! :-) 

This was separate pad of blocks we did near the front door. 

Ceramic

These are 4x4 inch Ceramic blocks. This configuration was done in a narrow hallway that branched out into (6) different rooms. A little tricky for sure, but with help from Jubentino, it all came out beautifully.

The new vinyl blocks are going in - working from the center of the room outward. But before that, we put down a complete new floor of 4x8 sheets of backerboard down, then patched every nail head - the Customer (Mr. Pucinelli) wanted a perfectly smooth floor. 

Hard to see the final pattern - but it was beautiful when finished. 

Ripping off the baseboards 

The glue was like Iron... trying to get it out from the kickplate 

Here is the original, very dated full sheet of linolium tile in a 12'x20' kitchen. There were 3 doorways, cabinets, and frig to work around.
