12. Yeah - that is why we kept the green in the half bath

It isn't used very much so the marble stays dry most of the time.

The idiot that did our floors - wood and tile - and the stone and tile for the back splashes and counters was terrible. In our old mobile home I tiled the master bath and the counters in the kitchen. Even when the house was moved, nothing cracked or came loose.

One the other hand, in this house that is only ten years old, with tile on a slab floor tiles are coming loose and cracking. I also hate the way he spaced the tiles - he didn't center them, just started with full tiles on one side and let the other side be small slices. I argued with him, but he refused to listen. By the time we were done, I just wanted all the idiots OUT of my house and be done with them.

Some day I will get the tiles reseated and some of the areas regrouted so they look better. Some other decade...
