Laying out 2′ square chalk lines for the granite counter top scrap floor. The 2′ square pattern was chosen because it is about as much as can be lifted by one person on a pallet.

Jay Julie and Sue working on assembling segments for the floor. They are working with 2′ square pallets which will be carried in when they are done. More pallets are being made in the background.

We purchased a powerful 12″ 3′ sliding compound wet saw for making the granite scrap floor happen. It is still somewhat slow to make cuts–a couple of minutes for a long cut.

Most of what was accomplished in terms of setting tile by the end of the day. We can already see that we will enjoy artful reflections of sunlight off the granite on our walls. The wooden sticks lying around are the 1/2″ spacers for the 2′ squares.
