The picture has just reminded me of a similar instance a few years ago.........a pile of 400x400 travertine tiles in a prospective customers garage.....not as big mind you,but not clever either.
(PS I didn't get the job because the customer wouldn't pay for the correct prep,overboarding and Ditra of the kitchen floor............I heard on the grapevine that it ended up cracking!)
