Bathroom Renovation - Part 4, Attack of the Grout

So we finally got to the grouting... Grouting is not as much fun as the rest of this project has been. It takes a lot of muscle to smear it in between the tiles and then A LOT of scrubbing. Oh, and it's terrifying. When you start working it in you pretty much cover everything, and then your beautiful tiles looks like this...

After letting it set up a bit you start to scrub it to get up all of the excess grout...


And finally, after hundreds of buckets of water (thanks Husband) it starts to look pretty again...


It's not fun. My hands were tinted black for about 5 days from all of the grout contaminated water that I was working with as I cleaned the floor over and over again. And the thing is, I still feel like it's not quite clean. Blah!

Next step... Beadboard and moulding. Yay mitre saw!
