Yurt Floor: Finishing Work

So, for three days I went in and filled the cracks and dribbled more water.  Frankly, I am tired of it.  I went in today, and just filled a few little spots and decided I am DONE.  So, I used a good multipurpose tough sponge and a lot of water and did a damp wipe on all of the "flagstone" in between the grouting.  I wanted to clean off the gray granite/clay dust so you could see a proper color difference between the earthen floor and the "grouting".  I tried vacuuming (carefully - didn't want to suck any grouting out!) and it did very little.

Here's a picture from when I first started, so you can see the difference:

Looks a little bit like a giraffe pattern.  It does look pretty cool.  We will see what it looks like tomorrow.  I am hoping to actually begin sealing with linseed oil.
