I finally completed the mermaid floor to the shower in my new apartment (Ground floor extension to my house.)

The tiles took 10 weeks to cut and lay.

It was strictly a labour of love for mine own delight but would be impossible to do on a commercial basis.

Each individual tile had to be cut and shaped to fit the adjoining tile which had to have been affixed the day before to extract an accurate cut. One shaped tile per day, hence the old adage.

Patience is a virtue, learn it if you can, seldom found in woman, never found in man. (Not sure what that says for transgendered people though.)

This proves that an exercise such as this would never be a commercial success. Ten weeks at £150 per day, (never going to work.)
