No- great grandfather was born east of Koshice, closer to Micelovce. I was born in New York city. I have been there 2 times, the second time I brought my mother. Met long lost family- it was good.


i thought we were talking about tile porn?

no, with the slab recessed down here it wasn't code years ago to have a liner.
only on second floors.
and as you can see you know how that turns out.

its now a Kerdi-board waterproofed curbless shower.

I was taking a walk down Luakini St. in Lahaina this morning. Looks like a tile showroom gone bad.

The tile guy did ok, but who picked the design?

your right Isaac,the tile guy did good job looking at the pic,but thats old tile and most likely in those days different layouts and tile were in fashion,20 years from now looking at the current tile work we did,it will look same as the pic you posted.

The sign is there so you can't get too close of a look.

But I was standing on a public sidewalk when I took the pic.
