Tile Step 2... Again

After a full day of gluing tile, we're finally done... with the diagonals. We still have the border. This is taking a long time!

We cut about 1/4 of the pieces that we need for the border and dry fit them into place. Its around a 6" piece that will go between the diagonal tiles and the wall. But its not very exact. One end of the kitchen is a half inch wider than the other end so we have to compensate. Its pretty much cut and see where it can go. Luckily in the long direction of the floor, the diagonal tiles measure a little over 12'. This is good becuase the tiles are 12" long and with the grout, the spacing is just right... no cutting extra tiles tiles. At the corners of the border we're cutting a square piece for symmetry. The corners under the counter, we don't care so much so the piece before the corner will be trimmed to fit, and the corner will be a square piece. Pretty standard. Check out my layout. =)
