Finally!

After a year of working on it, I have a kitchen floor again! And instead of an ugly, bright-red wooden floor, it's a beautiful slate floor to match my back splash.

Lest you think I actually got up off my big lazy butt and did this, I have to mention that our contractor friend Mario came over and finished it yesterday for us. So in a year, B and I did about half of the work. It took Mario only a few hours to finish the rest, including all the funny shaped tiles and the grout. He is currently my hero.
