Very informative. Hadn't seen anyone change the grout color. Only read about it. So that was very helpful. Thank you for posting.

Love the video but not sure if it is a suitable project for outdoors.

[jandramardges]

Sorry, I couldn’t understand about the glue used to apply the tiles. Is it a mixture of well bond and something else? Thanks for any help you can offer me. Love the pattern used and the tip on painting the grout. Great job and beautiful work.

Dollar Tree sells the wooden shapes. Do you think they are a good substrate?
