Grouting

Finally – the tile’s been done for a month now but we haven’t had a free day to grout until today! It was a long day and the grouting isn’t done but it’s really close, and we can definitely finish it up next weekend! I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves…

A before picture. While the grout got settled I hooked up the electric to the bathroom. Lights finally 🙂


We started on the shower. Here the right wall is done.


We took turns grouting and cleaning off the excess.


2 walls of the shower done!


Unfortunately at this point we ran out of the shower grout. We decided it was a good time to break for an early dinner and a trip to home depot. Home depot was out of this color grout though – luckily a shipment is coming this thursday so we should be all set for next weekend. So that decided how far we would get with the shower – 2 walls done.
After dinner Ryan had to work so I grouted the wall tiles. I started with just the main part of the wall tile but decided to do the decorative part as well just to get it done. It was a late night waiting for it to dry enough to clean it off but now the walls are done!

Right wall finished


Had to grout the decorative part with my finger - notice I'm using my left hand on this side... my right index finger was bleeding by this point!


Scary picture - that's a lot of cleanup ahead - more sore fingers...


All done!


Now I’m taking my swollen and sore fingers off to bed so I can get up early. I want to get in the office early so I can leave at lunch time to go play with my niece(s)! It’s been a great weekend and I can’t wait until next weekend, the bathroom is really coming together. Now we just need to get our plumber back out sometime next month 🙂
