Step 7: "Staple" tiles to wood

Now it's time to attach the tiles.  You should be very careful during this step not to crack the tiles, it can happen very easily.  Decide where each tile is going and start putting in the staples to hold the tiles on.  Do not hammer them all the way down, you want there to be about an 1/8 of an inch gap between the tile and staple.  They will hold on the just fine at this depth.  Sorry the pictures are fuzzy, my camera doesn't have a macro mode.
