Success!

Okay, so it's not perfect. That's how people will believe I didn't get somebody else to do it. But I took my time and did it carefully. Impediments were overcome, success was achieved.

Step one: Let's have some heat! It was about forty degrees in the cabin, and that was after giving the morning some time to warm up. Yes, a bird got in there a few months ago.

Step two: Lay the tiles for the easy side out on a table.

Step three: Mix mortar. Oops! I don't have a drill that'll run this mixer paddle! Visited three neighbors before I found a half-inch drill.

This is going well. On to Step four: Do it again on the hard side. This time I had to go back and borrow the tile saw again, which I shouldn't have returned so quick in the first place. I either neglected to cut out two pieces or lost them with exceptional skill even for me. Considered calling it a day, but ... naw. Slowly! Carefully! This is the confusing part.

Ta da!
