Perfect!<br /><br />Thanks, too, for the mention which I'm quite delinquent in responding to.<br /><br />Best,<br />CBCB Whittemorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03737846177421292411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212644455999670683.post-42882983195139681542010-10-19T13:11:34.753-07:002010-10-19T13:11:34.753-07:00Thanks, Alexandra, for your comments and descripti...Thanks, Alexandra, for your comments and descriptive explanation of 'durable.' While your demonstration might be memorable, I don't want folks to get the idea they can't be broken. Dropping large metal objects from a great distance will generally cause the tile to break; but, that isn't the way most people will use the tiles in their home (I hope).Bill Buyokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10144445983760052176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212644455999670683.post-42401372563971867742010-10-18T12:39:28.402-07:002010-10-18T12:39:28.402-07:00Maybe you could just bring a few of the concrete t...Maybe you could just bring a few of the concrete tiles to your next presentation. When it comes time for those kinds of questions, start with, "Because they aren't mass-produced, there are no standards....blah blah" then do a illustrative demo. By this I mean, lay out a few concrete tiles on the floor and drop bottles, shoes, heavy laptops (or similar) on them (as long as you know the tiles won't break). Then say, "as you see, even though no official standards exists, you can see for yourself that they're durable." No-one would forget such a visible demonstration, eh?Fun and Fit: Kymberly and Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15409516312268206613noreply@blogger.com
