The Tile Instalation Bane - The Threshold

This was almost my undoing the other day.

I had quickly thrown together two thresholds similar to these ones when I installed the tile a while back. I took the guys down to mine and told them to make the other thresholds like these. Just use the scraps and vary the design of squares and rectangles - thin, thick, big, small, etc. Just try to go off what I've already done.

I walked away thinking, no problem. These guys got it. OH, WAS I WRONG! (My back is starting to tense just thinking of it.) These guys tried three times to get it and were so far off from what I wanted, I almost freaked. (Shelley would probably say I did freak out.) Ok, I did. "I Still need to LET IT GO - Jeremiah!" I even drew sketches for them!?#$@

SHELLEY TO THE RESCUE.
Shelley so lovingly let me know that I was just quite possibly a little bit anal, and my expectations of these guys was significantly off the mark. I love her. She was so right.

In the end, Shelley worked with them and layed out the design for them to install. And I might add - She did it way better than I did on mine.

SHELLEY ROCKS!!!
