the end of the tiles?

well, nearly.

In case you don't remember what tiles look like, this is one of the last:

The tiles were irregular shapes, and difficult to fit. The ones bought a year ago were even more difficult, as they were on average half a centimeter bigger than the newer ones. I had to saw the edges off to make them match. But all that I have to do now is seal them (three or four coats of linseed oil), and grout them. Then the last floor will be finished. Almost. There are some oak edge strips to be done too. And sealed with linseed oil.

And, talking of sealing, the new lid went back on the septic tank, without breaking. A bit of grease round the edge helped it slide in place nicely. Naturally I am not sufficiently indelicate to post a picture of either the lid or the septic tank itself, and certainly not the grease, but this is the mould I made the new lid in:

Getting it firmly back on was - err - a relief.
