It can be beautiful and colorful with a centerpiece of flowers<br />All pictures are at bottom so you can print instructions but don't want to print photos.<br /><br />Tomorrow I will be putting on the grout then wait for that to dry, then the Grout Tile Sealer so it will be safe outdoors in summer heat, rain and winter freezes.<br />For anyone interested in making a mosaic table for themselves, I will give instructions as best I can below.<br /><br />I found an old round patio table frame and my son-n-law cut 1 inch wood board and concrete board (forgot the proper name).<br /><br />1. You Need: Ceramic tiles, Thin-Set, Sanded Grout, Tamper or hammer, old bucket for rinsing your hands, old spatula or wide plastic palette knife for spreading the glue stuff, rubber gloves, Grout Sponge and Grout Float.<br /><br />2. Tamper (that you tamp dirt down with around a fence post, Pic to come), you can use a hammer but it breaks the tile to small and it takes forever to put together. Hit the tile softly till you get the hang of it so they don't get too small. If you break one tile at a time it makes it easier to put pieces together on the table but, leave small space between pieces for grouting later.<br /><br />Then once you have the table covered with your mosaic... <br />3. Get ready mixed Thin-Set or Tile Adhesive or something your home improvement store recommends for an outdoor table using ceramic tiles. Spread it like cake frosting or butter on the back of each piece of mosaic (broken tiles) then push it down into place making sure they are flat, do this until each tile piece is done. Let it set to cure as directed on the label. If you're using small tiles around the outside the procedure is the same = place them on the glue stuff, press to seal and let cure. When set scrape off any glue stuff from the tops of the mosaic, use a yard blower to blow off all the dust and pieces of Thin-Set before the next step.<br /><br />4. Using sanded grout of your color choice mix with water to consistency of peanut butter. Use a Grout Float to spread into and over all the broken tiles, make sure it gets into all the cracks and smooth down on the sides so there is no drop off on the edge (do this in parts so you get it all, then into the tiles on the side)<br />Note: Some sealers can be added to the water mixed with grout now instead of sealing later. <br /><br />5. When the grout is dry on top of the tiles or powdery in about 5 to 10 minutes depending on humidity where you are, wipe with damp sponge and make sure it's only damp (I've been told any water in the grout and it will get soft and may not set right), we want a good hard grout when cured. This is the point where you and run your finger (wearing a glove so you don't get cuts) between the tiles or leave flat/even with tiles which is what I prefer so no water sits in the grout and causes mold and discoloration.<br /><br />6. I highly recommend using a sealer for outdoor use to protect it from the elements and grout splitting/cracking, mold, etc. Read the ratings on the Tile and grout sealers to make sure you get what you want and won't be disappointed by your hard work going to ruin.<br /><hr /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Pictures of what I personally used</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> tamper</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XxVMbAauRjQ/UZKRV3LfKuI/AAAAAAAAA-w/aTC_vmrcfAI/s1600/IMG_20130513_111041.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XxVMbAauRjQ/UZKRV3LfKuI/AAAAAAAAA-w/aTC_vmrcfAI/s200/IMG_20130513_111041.jpg" width="150" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> thinset or tile adhesive, holding it all in place. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WeBs_zoqBhE/UZKSyEhOLsI/AAAAAAAAA_s/Tq-DjOtYA3Q/s1600/IMG_20130508_133343.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WeBs_zoqBhE/UZKSyEhOLsI/AAAAAAAAA_s/Tq-DjOtYA3Q/s200/IMG_20130508_133343.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ns33M06Wv_g/UZKRgCPGHSI/AAAAAAAAA-4/1NRnty4_BC8/s1600/IMG_20130513_111009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ns33M06Wv_g/UZKRgCPGHSI/AAAAAAAAA-4/1NRnty4_BC8/s200/IMG_20130513_111009.jpg" width="150" /></a>this is what I used.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />sanded grout</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5RREbH0wfoo/UZKRmFCUxrI/AAAAAAAAA_A/w4-GMXSW5Zo/s1600/IMG_20130513_110952.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5RREbH0wfoo/UZKRmFCUxrI/AAAAAAAAA_A/w4-GMXSW5Zo/s200/IMG_20130513_110952.jpg" width="150" /></a></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">this is what the grout looks like when mixed....

But thought it will only be $2 or $3 dollars I lose by trying out Ebates instead so that's what I did, I tried it out!<br />Well, I got my check today! Yes, it really works and does what it says it will. Not only do you get cash back but Ebates has great coupons to use also! Okay, I'm impressed!<br /><br />Now that I'm convinced I am going to pass on the good news about <a href="http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=Jnf5MFCsIulbZytYm3d9lQ%3D%3D" target="_blank">Ebates!!</a><br />Yes! I'm a happy gal!<br /><br /> Especially since we are retired and live on an limited income, I try to save everywhere I can. Now, I will admit it's not the thousands or hundreds of $ as shown on TV.

Furthermore, it appears to prevent, in some cases, the onset of these conditions. It also has been shown to help people with insulin problems, such as diabetics, and could even help in cases of autism and epilepsy.</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em; padding: 0px;">If those aren't reasons enough to take coconut oil, this last one applies to all of us: it prevents against colds and viruses.</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em; padding: 0px;">Coconut oil is a natural antibacterial and effectively kills the harmful bacteria in our bodies, thus strengthening our immune system. But it gets even better than that. According to Dr. Mary Enig the lauric acid in coconut oil destroys viruses such as HIV, herpes, and influenza.</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em; padding: 0px;">To read more about this wonderful product go to: <a href="http://blogs.cbn.com/healthyliving/archive/2013/01/21/coconut-oil-tips.aspx" target="_blank">COCONUT OIL</a></div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em; padding: 0px;"></div><div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em; padding: 0px;">Many people have questions about what brand of coconut oil they should be taking and how much of it they should take. Still others wonder how to take it, since it's a solid at room temperature.</div><div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em; padding: 0px;">Allow me to address these concerns.</div><div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em; padding: 0px;">First of all, you must, must must NEVER EAT HYDROGENATED OILS OF ANY KIND, including coconut oil. Hydrogenated oils are the same thing as trans fats, which are some of the deadliest substances you can put in your body.</div><div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em; padding: 0px;">Trans fats are man-made, which is to say, God never intended us to eat them. They are manufactured by infusing a nice regular oil, coconut oil, for instance, with hydrogen....hence the term, "hydrogenated." The end result is a molecule that has properties similar to plastic and wreaks havoc on your cells, leading to heart disease, cancer, and decreased immune function.</div><div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em; padding: 0px;">So stay away from hydrogenated coconut oil. If you are ever in doubt about whether a product contains a trans fat, simply look at the list of ingredients. If you see the word, "hydrogenated," put it back. Fortunately, I have not seen hydrogenated coconut at all, but I have heard it's out there.</div><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/coop/api/011059096903779757968/cse/ns1fbl-qedo/gadget&synd=open&w=320&h=95&title=Search+Engine+For+Artists&border=%23ffffff%7C0px%2C1px+solid+%2399BB66%7C0px%2C2px+solid+%23AACC66%7C0px%2C2px+solid+%23BBDD66&output=js"></script></div>Betty Rhttps://plus.google.com/112529522363716166636noreply@blogger.com0
