A Tile Job
Tile work is of merit - only thing left to do is fill the gaps with grout!
Edit - tis 8824 1506: Tile job has been completed and a “pepper medley” teaser:
~~ end of final edit - I will have a Garden Update hopefully sometime next week ~~
Some rain is coming in to the hills, but better to be away from the coast.
Welcome to my home - a place of fine tile work - and guest invited only!
If you walk into the room off to the left over the hexagon threshold - know this - you enter into sacred place, so hope your mind is clear when you cross the threshold. Just saying, and of course invited guest are welcome - more then welcome - they are desired.
Now, I’m waiting for one more picture to be delivered and know this - us folks from North Carolina - you might think we are like Andy Griffith, and we are in a way, but we got more substance than that and if you want to put it to the test then go ahead - but rumor I heard is Ralph Baric is about to be called to account….and that my friends out there reading this - is what you call justice in action and the outcome of a wolpack on the hunt, and know this - the picture was not clear, so now, literally tis 8724 1630 and I’m going to take another picture and then post it below - but the wolfpack always gets it prey! Not kidding around.
I remember, I remember, I remember!
There are a few images I intent on posting on this “post” but some technical difficulties are preventing me from posting them just now - but rest assured I have the images and they will be posted and technical difficulties are equivalent to elitist dimwits who have lost the initiative and when they do this they rapidly learn the fear they been delivering and never thought it would be pushed back there way with Justified Retribution - but oh how swift the clock can change - on a dime.
Tis now 8724, 1647 - and change is in the air in the month of Gusto and some hard lessons are on the way.
Here they are - the follow-up images - knew they would come through - I’m not kidding around.
The time is NOW!

Wonderful work Ken, you are a master tiler! You might even assist the Freemasons in their black & white tiling of their lodges! LOL!

In the midst of doing this work, and I ain't a young buck anymore, but I can still get up and down on the floor.....anyhow, in the midst of doing this work , my middle finger rubbed the wrong way against a cut tile in manner that some blood flowed and the blood flowed upon the tilework, and frankly I said to my family - no tile job is "blessed" till some blood is spilled....and then I sent the picture to them of the blood on the tiles...that picture will not be shared - twas only shared with family direct. That is that.
So, I consider this tilework blessed in a manner, but tis family business I reckon....but some of my blood was left behind and it will be there in the future - my blood is in this work and in a way that makes it better in my mind - it proves I'm willing to bleed to get the job done. I've done it once, I've done it twice, I'll do it again.
Tomorrow, I put in the grout and then that is that - and I'll even put some grout on the mantle which I also put down some tile but have yet to share about that effort - tomorrow, I'll share pictures of the completed job. Both jobs finished.
I'm getting close to completing most of the work on this small house acquired by happenstance that others wondered why I wanted....but I knew after what happened, that I needed this place and I've put my heart and soul into it - and that will last forever - it cannot be taken away from me....there is beauty in that in my mind, and this little house I didn't choose must have chosen me I reckon. Tis more than ironic in a way as time moves on, and as time moves on, lets all pray for some learning of lessons - hard lessons learned in the 20th century, but I can imagine better times on the way - can you? I hope you can. Better times on the way.....better times beckon - just like Odessa does.
