RCN, That is really an awesome accomplishment in one week's time! Plants, firepit, walks, new beds...........incredible.

I have finished tiling the board on my front porch. When I came outside to take another look at my work, I realized that the tiles had slipped out of place and dried that way.

The grout that the tile store sold to me is a light tan color which I didn't think would hide the flaws (I have no intention of ripping it up and starting all over), so I went to the local guy and got a medium light grey. The owner here told me that I was not supposed to use the "thinset" that the tile store sold me since that was only for floors. He said that something like "liquid nails" would have been much easier to work with on a vertical job.

Hopefully when I apply the grout (if it ever stops raining long enough for me to get it put on with time to dry) it will hide most of the defects.

I still need to deal with the stain on the bluestone from the planter pot.
