Church Tile -
 Steps & Landing
Pictures

 

The original tile project began in 1998 with the tiling of the main and side altars.  10 intrepid individuals started on that project and 5 survived until the last day of that phase.  These 5 survivors also were involved in the 2004 tile project which put down tile on the main floor of the church.  Amazingly, those same 5 are still involved with the current and last phase of the tile project, taking care of the steps leading up to the altar.  Those 5 are Tom Farrell, David Hemmi, Dave Williams, Eric Rochester and John Farrell.

Day One, Saturday
 

The middle being done.
Wow, lots of tile to be laid still.

Lots of tile to be laid, part 2, different perspective.  Besides, what else would I take a picture of at this time?
Either a butt shot or floating a rough spot on the floor.

The ooze.  Could be a movie.
Let's think about this.  Too late, carpet is gone.  Must tile.
