Slate tile on the porch




So for the past couple of years we have intended to do this project. We have had the extra slate tile kicking around the garage for quite some time. We thought we would whip this out in one day and that I would be grouting the entire thing the next. YEAH RIGHT!!! We did finish the bottom step, maybe next weekend we can tackle the top step.
It will take some some more sweet talking on my part. Les loves to work, especially on projects around the house, but he sure HATES to lay tile.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS NEW! I was going to ask you about it this morning but I didn't want to sound stupid if it had been like that the whole time! IT LOOKS AWESOME!
