The joys of floor tiling
It didn’t help that there was underfloor heating.
It didn’t help that the thermostat for said underfloor heating was 3mm thicker than any other part of the underfloor heating and had to lay between the elements and not down one side or set into the floor.
It didn’t help that the special floor tile cement for underfloor heating stuck to everything except 1. the underfloor heating and 2. the underside of the tiles.
It didn’t help that the special floor tile cement for underfloor heating was black as soot and turned everything it touched black as soot.
It didn’t help that the floor tiles were nearly white.
Not that I’m complaining. Playing with plasticky sticky stuff sticking to everything in a room six foot square when you can’t walk on most of the floor because there are tiles recently stuck to it is a good time to reflect on some of the teachings of Lao Tzu.
