I think  you'd find Daltile's unglazed terra cotta pavers (red, buff and 
grey,  ready-cut in several different dimensions) to be good candidates for a 
floor.  It's very likely you can stain and / or glaze them if you can find a 
potter to  loan you kiln space. 


Mary, thank you, and everyone else.  Clarifications:  what is the  
substrate?  The substrate is the 1" plywood on heavy framing that our  general 
contractor has just finished adjacent to the existing kitchen, and  framed and 
leveled at a height which assumed the usual linoleum or ceramic  tile finish 
on floor, not 2" high bricks.  So, sure, I could rip out the  entire thing 
and start over, I hope I don't have to repour the footings.
 
Yes, thank you, I have been wondering about cracking of brick across the  
long dimension, if I cut them in half.  (Which, just entre nous, I will not  
be doing, although it does make me feel young and potent to talk Big Power  
Tools.)
 
But it was a beautiful dream, and thank you everyone for waking me up  
gently.
 
Pyrate, I am glad you liked Prairie Home Companion this weekend, and that  
you listened to it in your Land Rover Orvis Edition LXE.
