Last year we visited Fabrica Sant'Anna in Lisbon, which makes azulejos--Portuguese tiles. We picked out 15 tiles, 19 border pieces and 4 corners, for about $350, and that was my carry-on luggage for the trip home. We took a class at the Tile Shop in Virginia Beach to find out how to cut the backer board, mix the mortar, cut the trim, lay the tile, caulk the edges, and apply the grout. Here's the result.

Wow--how cool is that!?
Those are lovely; I'm impressed.
Nice work. This is what I enjoy about manual labour - a tangible result that feels more meaningful than all the bit-pushing and byte-stuffing I do over the year. Rarely does the satisfaction of a project at work match up to a project done with the hands and done well.
