So, finally, we were able to get the guys from Tile Renaissance to start working on the flooring in the house. And yes, they have quite a bit to do - there is a ton of places where there was tile over, plus everywhere else that had white carpet. While yes, carpet was originally in the house, we do live in the desert, and a lot of Gist's newer homes had ground concrete as the flooring. Therefore, we are not doing a disservice by having concrete flooring. The workers from Tile Renaissance decided to do a test area to see how many grindings it will take to expose the aggregate to what is called in the industry as 'salt and pepper' aggregate. This is after four grindings: Not bad. Here is another shot, closer up. I really love it. It is going to play off of the adobe and mahogany in the rooms nicely. We will see how much more grinding they are intending to do before polishing and sealing.
