This is a stack of slate waiting to be used as outside patio flooring at my neighbors house. I thought the way the workers had it stacked had a certain eye appeal and decided to take a couple of snaps. I liked the results and thought I would share it with all of you..
Slate is a fine-grained, foliated, homogeneous metamorphic rock derived from an original shale-type sedimentary rock composed of clay or volcanic ash through low grade regional metamorphism. The result is a foliated rock in which the foliation may not correspond to the original sedimentary layering. Slate is frequently grey in colour especially when seen en masse covering roofs. However, slate occurs in a variety of colours even from a single locality. For example slate from North Wales can be found in many shades of grey from pale to dark and may also be purple, green or cyan. Slate is not to be confused with shale, from which it may be formed, or schist.
Chemical composition
Slate is mainly composed of quartz and muscovite or illite, often along with biotite, chlorite, hematite, and pyrite and, less frequently, apatite, graphite, kaolin, magnetite, tourmaline, or zircon as well as feldspar. Occasionally, as in the purple slates of North Wales, ferrous reduction spheres form around iron nuclei, leaving a light green spotted texture. These spheres are sometimes deformed by a subsequent applied stress field to ovoids, which appear as ellipses when viewed on a cleavage plane of the specimen.
Slate in buildings
Slate can be made into roofing slates, also called roofing shingles, installed by a slater[1]. Slate has two lines of breakability: cleavage and grain. This makes it possible to split slate into thin sheets. When broken, slate produces a natural appearance while remaining relatively flat and can be easily stacked. Silicone glue adheres to slate.
Slate tiles are often used for interior and exterior flooring, stairs, walkways, and wall cladding. Tiles are installed and set on mortar and grouted along the edges. Chemical sealants are often used on tiles to improve durability and appearance, increase stain resistance, reduce efflorescence, and increase or reduce surface smoothness. Tiles are often sold gauged, meaning that the back surface is ground for ease of installation. Slate flooring can however be slippery when used in external locations subject to rain. Slate tiles were used in 19th century UK building construction (apart from roofs) and in slate quarrying areas such as Bethesda there are still many buildings wholly constructed of slate. Slates can also be set into walls to provide a rudimentary damp-proof membrane. Small offcuts are used as shims to level floor joists. In areas where slate is plentiful it is also used in pieces of various sizes for building walls and hedges, sometimes combined with other kinds of stone.

Decided to continue the reddish brown tiles to resemble some wood flooring... It doesn't hold the conservatory in place too strongly like plates or bricks do, but that's the best I could think of because I removed the brick wall that separated the green house from the main house...
After getting the bricks laid I wanted to see what color I would like for the flooring and seems like darker is best - this is all the floor I've made so far so I stained it and just put it down to get an idea and I love the color - so more cutting and staining then I will work on gluing it all down - I did make the door framing and wall trims, cut them and stained them too - after I get the flooring in I will add the baseboards but for now this is some of the work I've done in the great room. I've done a few more things for the other rooms but nothing worth sharing at this time. It's going to look so good completed but I'm so ready for this to be complete!
This is Southwark Cathedral. They had a museum of the moon event. For me just to highlight a beautiful building.
Arriving at Bay today, one of a pair of former Lothian Buses Wright Gemini bodied Volvo B9TL acquired after their initial sale elsewhere was not concluded. The combination has featured in the Bay fleet before.
LX60DXK was latterly Lothian 1145, but was new as Go Ahead London WVL379. One of a batch of 13 - all gasket glazed ex GAL examples - to retain dual doors and original registration in Edinburgh it was, as with the single-doored exampled new to First London, extensively refurbished before joining Lothian with new seating, flooring etc.
Part of the remains of the flooring from St.Mary the virgin and the Holy Rood.
The ruins of St Mary’s Church at Little Chart. The church was dedicated to Saint Mary the Virgin and the Holy Rood. Built in the 11th century as a two cell structure, and over the years it expanded…… described as a building of sandstone with two aisles, two chancels and a steeple at the west end. The steeple is said to have been built in Henry VII’s reign. The Victorians carried out major repairs in the 19th century
On the16th August 1944 during WW2, St Mary’s received a direct hit from a flying bomb, a doodlebug, Only the tower and parts of the chancel wall survived.

We think wood flooring will always be on trends due to the warmth, character it gives to the style of your interior space. Today we talk about the trends in wood flooring this year.
"'Ebnerite' is composed of wood fibre, fine mineral powder, and a cementing fluid. It is laid in a plastic state with a trowel, and solidifies in about 35 hours. It can be used either rough or polished, oiled, and beeswaxed, like a parquet floor."

Working on the floors of the three levels. In the upper left corner are laser cut 1” wood square tiles, I bought for the main floor. I glued them down at a diagonal to create more interest, than a straight pattern would have been.
The upper right floor, I cut the pieces and glued them down in a tongue and groove pattern.
The bottom floor, I used the same wood cuts, but put it down in a herringbone pattern.
After sanding, I painted two of the floors and sanded again to let the pattern come through. All three floors will be sealed with a satin finish clear sealant.
With the floors being almost finished, the next step will be the lighting.
EB NYSW SU-100 highballs out of Binghamton on a warm Sunday afternoon behind a pair of SD60's. The sights (and later smell) of smoke coming from these two as well as the train kicking up dust was quite the show.
