Great idea!

I bow to the expert.

Thanks,

You're so sweet. Yes it did show me how off the walls were!

Good ta know for next time! Thanks!
If my mat doesn't clean up it is ok 'cause: (1) I did it, (2) It kept DH & DSon from cuttin' on the tile that was already laid, (3) It was an old mat anyway & a good excuse ta git another one!

Again Thanks so much for all of your support!
