I Still Have ll 10 Fingers!

SHIP'S LOG:

     I spent yesterday helping Wayne lay the tile floor in the galley at TYC. Part of my task was to cut the porcelain tiles when they needed to be cut. Power-tools like the diamond-bladed Wet Saw for cutting the tile always scared the hell out of me, but after some very careful instruction from Wayne, it all went off without a hitch. Truth be told, there were only perhaps a dozen tiles that needed to be cut, the rest of the time was spent watching Wayne perform. With great care and efficiency, he set in place about 3/5 of the new floor. The rest will be done today and then grouted on Thursday. It is a nifty learning experience now added to my ever growing catalog of skills. True, I wouldn't jump right in a tackle such a job by myself but I wouldn't be afraid  either.
