Tiler: "maker of tiles", not to be confused with a tiller, a plougher, a cultivator, some one who works with the landscape. Tiler, from the Latin root tegre, to cover, to pave, a simplifier of roughness, a maker of patterns, an exaggerator of basic shape:

                a plane that needn't be so wide,
                a line that needn't be so straight,
                a point that needn't be so perfect.

The tiler does not work with the land, or for the land, and is not of the land. He interferes with it, on it, happens to be there, and apart from it. He covers it; intentionally forgets it. As in the roots pushing up and water rising through, to be affected and not know it. As in the leaky roof he thatches using palm leaves plucked from the forest, making the natural forms into an unnatural form; to deflower that which cannot be ignored; to uncover.

Carter: "user of carts", as in carting wood, as in cradle, basket, from the Indo-European root: -ger, to twist and turn, resist falling asleep, to move in comfort and be protected. Take the tree tops off along with the trunks and moves them, implants them, to push them up gently into the roof, to coerce them with disbelief in their own act, to move one's feelings aside.

The sheriff was a carter, proving it can work backwards; one who builds to hold in, or moves to prove they can. The tiler is also a carter (;the maker of cover has built a place to sleep).
