We found our floor!
1' square slate tiles, a little over 100 of them. I haven't worked out what that is in square meterage yet, as there are several of them that have been cut down to various sizes so it may be hard to tell for sure. We're not too worried if we come up a bit short, as we'll just fill the gaps with other interesting bits and pieces we find, but it's good to know for planning. They also need a bit of a clean up as many of them still have bits of grout hanging off the edges. We snapped this set up for the grand sum of $50 from our friends at the tip.
I'm not sure if we've mentioned in the past how much we love the tip. There are 2 in the city we live in, both with warehouses off to one side where they sell off anything they can that comes their way and give the proceeds to a different charity each month. We embark on our weekly pilgrimage usually sometime on saturday afternoon, after all the weekend renovators have emptied their skips but before the sunday-morning hoarders arrive.
