Entryway Surprise!

What a fun day! The kids were tired of being cooped up from all the rain so we headed to the library with really no specific task in mind. We've had trouble with the entryway leaking after heavy rains and my dad and I both thought there was wood flooring under layers of commercial carpet and tile like everywhere else on the top floor. Out of curiousity I pulled up the carpet, afraid the wood floor was going to be ruined from constant moisture, only to find what looks like original tile. The style and colors are consistent with the craftsman era and it looks as if the tiles were actually laid directly into the concrete when the entryway was made. They're in great shape so we're taking care to restore them. Most of the work consists of scraping glue off the tiles and out of the grout lines.
