This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Flooring/Ground. I spotted this artistic gem in front of the Blue Anchor Building in Downtown Sacramento. HMMM!
Alas, the floor of the portico of the State Library was muddy and wet!

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...
Apparently if you can build LEGO, you can build a nailed down hardwood floor too. It's like tiling a base plate.

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!
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.

With most of the train outside of downtown Bainbridge, 22K roars back up to track speed as the pass the HR 578.6 signal and cross Dingman Hill Rd.
Will become the new kitchen floor (540 Sq. Ft.). Cork is an eco-friendly product. Trees are not down.

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.
This morning the nation’s ‘UGG’ boots were left safely tucked up in the warm and dry laid out neatly on heated laminate wood flooring (funny how we can only wear these boots in dry, flat, unchallenging weather and terrain conditions and when we aren’t expecting to have to run or climb stairs, or drive, or walk.) whilst out came everyone’s trusty snow footwear.
Everyone in the world, or at least Potters Bar owns a very old pair of boots that have passed rigorous testing and been found not to let in water or start to rub halfway round a 10 mile hike and that can fit 3 pairs of socks in comfortably. Goodness knows when or where any of us bought them, they are all hideous, mis-shapen monstrosities.
‘APPEARANCES CAN BE DECEIVING’
EST 1997
Emporium for knackered looking, hideous but supremely comfortable bad weather footwear.
‘Trust us, one awfully ghastly, snowy day you will announce that these are the best boots you ever bought to all and sundry.’
Along with the trusty snow shoes somewhere in our wardrobes we all have our vintage collection of cold weather undergarments.
Being a hoarder extraordinaire my wardrobe has such a pile; quite a large one in fact and so does my bedroom floor, and my dirty linen bag and the end of my bed and my handbag and the boot of my car. I never actually go out and buy these items, I just accrue them and they are all at least 15 years old (you can age them by the fading of the washing label) and have great provenance, ‘Ah! That’s the top I once vomited in, that one I wore when I scooped up the warm, limp body of my poor darling cat from the road, and those socks I put on in an angry frenzy when I walked out on the last boyfriend.’
On go multiple layers - the only time I will look in the mirror and think, no I don’t look large enough; another few puffas and three more fleeces ought to do it.
Once I have squeezed through the front door and out into the muffled white I look around me at my fellow snow crumpers, moon faced under woolly hats, all wearing non-descript coats and jeans, dark, neutral shades; nothing like the C&A day glo of old.
But I know different.
I know that underneath their eye-not-catching waterproofs, denims and wellies are the most peculiar and interesting array of garments that couldn’t be worn on the outside. The jumpers that they couldn’t bear to throw away after they stained them 90% red wine. Or the running leggings that he was never quite comfortable running in without an apron on, or the flesh coloured top that she wore once that from a distance looked as though she was topless, and had no nipples. Those Christmas day socks get their second ever trip out, all at once, five pairs layered and so do the granny pants that she bought one day thinking that they looked quite sexy in a prudish, burlesque way until he asked her as she got alluringly undressed had she had an accident at work and found it necessary to borrow the Matron’s pants?

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.
