Hi guys, well it is finished.... I still need to seal the grout in three days......when I get back home, at the moment I am deep in snow high up in the Cascade Mountains!
This will give the floor grout time to set.....
I love the black mortar, but this time I used two layers of blue nitrile gloves and I still ended up with black fingers LOL!
So this turned out good, now I need to fill in the rest of the room with laminate flooring.
this sounds easier than it is, 
Here are some of the new samples.......
Stay tuned for the new flooring adventure!!!
