Hmmm I never thought of it as "rocket science" or "brain surgery" or
"rocket surgery" as you put it. Speaking of mixed metaphors, you never
mentioned that the floor wouldn't be walked on in your first post - if
that's the case, you might get away with Mastik and modified grout, but
beware, walking on it isn't the only means of movement. Floors expand
and contract with temperature and moisture changes. Wait a few months
and look at your grout joints and you will notice little cracks all
along the tile, and eventually the grout will crack too. But then
again, you don't really care... it's just a cabin.

Wrong again. It's not just a cabin. It's MY cabin. An out of body
experience that borders on the time line dimensions of the Twilight Zone.

But, yes, it's just a piece of two foot strip of tile I want to put down to
keep the hot ashes from making black spots in the polyester berber carpet.

The only time it is trod on is to put logs in the fire, or to clean up. Not
a common walkway.

It is not JUST any old border, but one that I want to select just the RIGHT
tile, and put it down to complement the ambience of the room. Rough sawn,
knotty pine, slight smell of PineSol, mothballs, all that goes with a summer
cabin.


If it were " just a cabin ", things would be much different.

I'm getting ready to post photos to a website, and to
alt.binaries.photos.original, and, as you will see, it's pretty cool.
