The floor guys came today to replace the foyer marble with slate. I think they'll be done tomorrow.

I spent about fifteen minutes in the garage sorting the 120 tiles we bought months ago into functional piles - Excellent Specimens for the main walkway, Lousy Specimens that may be good for edge triangles, In-Betweeners and Green Ones. We want to marginalize the green tiles as much as possible.

Fifteen minutes of slate sorting and I got a blood blister. What's up with that?
