Instead, you stuck with it. And it is starting to look pretty good. Convincing muddy look. It is coming along.


I actually saw the floor slowly warping tile by tile closer to the wall, luckily it stopped before reaching it. I was afraid the wall would be detached from the floor. My reasoning with the tiles is that as long as you don't see a tile that is bent then you can show row of tiles tilted, because that could be explained with a floor being broken from shell concussion.

It looks real nice. :thumbup:

Two things:

1. is it possible that you post more as one picture in a post, as doing them all seperate like you did now? Please?

2. A suggestion for your groundwork. Why not using a simple woodfiller to fill the gaps? It will avoid you from the problems you now had. Woodfiller mixed with fine sand becomes as hard as clay. ;-) ;-)

1. I'll keep it in mind to next time.

2. I used joinery filler, I'm not sure about the termology here if we are talking the same thing or different things?
