The Unconscious is structured like a Language. Lacan borrows some ideas of linguistics that Freud did not have access to. As we have seen, Saussure showed that a sign is not necessarily something that connects a word or name to a thing, but is in fact something which connects a sound or image to a concept. The sound or image is called a signifier.
The rift sawn rip cuts are perpendicular to the center of the log. In woodworking, a rip-cut is to sever or divide a piece of wood parallel to the grain. The other typical type of cut is a cross-cut, a cut perpendicular to the grain. Unlike cross-cutting, which shears the wood fibers, a rip saw works more like a series of chisels, lifting off small splinters of wood.
Use a tile saw to cut tiles necessary to complete floor. Place cut tiles to complete tile layout and confirm tiles are spaced evenly, are spare and that the layout is pleasing to the eye. Once satisfied with the layout, remove tile to apply thinset mortar. Apply a thin layer of thinset mortar to floor in small sections using a notched trowel.
