Balcony floor

So today I visited my flat for the last time before moving. There is still a hell of a lot to do, but they have promised to be finished on time.
Except for the balcony floor which is delayed. Seemingly they import the granite from Italy, and they cannot deliver on time. Interesting, since I ordered it about a year ago, but I guess Italians have never been known for their organizing skills.
Right now the floor looks like this (why stones you ask? I have absolutely no idea).

Those stones are part of the base for underneath the tile. These will be spread out and levelled off..and the tiles placed on top..and then they will most likely pour grout (bewurf) between the tiles. The stones form a surface beneath the tile through which water and moisture can pass easily!
