Thanks Frizzle,
I personally prefer lighter colored travertine, but I still like the way it turned out. I had a sore back every day. Each tile weighs around 25 lbs it seems like. When we did the floors it seemed like my lower back was on fire

Back brace did nothing to help. In the showers, the walls we floated with mud, and each one took about 2-3 days of floating, then about 3-4 days to set the tile. We had one guy just bullnosing the tiles every day, for a good 2 weeks because we had to do a 6 inch tile base

This job was fun !
