I hate grouting

Last night I got the first wall grouted. Boy do I hate grouting! Isn't science smart enough to make something that will only go between the tiles and won't stick to the fronts? Going to tackle the big wall in the shower tonight then I'll have the last largest wall to finish once we get the rest of the tile.

Bad news is that Sunday night we realized we are short about 20 tiles - so I stopped where I was. We bought a common product, but of course when E went to get more last night they were out. He's calling the tile store owner today to find out about more coming (they had it in the computer so maybe it'll be there this week).




Meanwhile we're trying to follow the National Body Challenge on discovery - free gym membership, but the meals are a little unrealistic to make - as if i'm going to cook anything that complex!!! Oh well - maybe we'll be able to drop 10 or 15 before Mexico and my good friend's upcoming wedding in May.

Ring in the new year to the sound of hammers....

We stayed in all weekend and destroyed our bathroom!! We found a lot we didn't expect. Like there is double drywall between our unit and our neighbors... so we had to carefully rip out the first layer, cause we didn't want to shell out for 2 layers and go through all the hassle that would involve. We replaced the old moldy drywall with green board so it will resist mold. We sealed everything we could then yesterday I started the actual tile work and E did all the dangerous cutting. It was WAY more time consuming than we anticipated, but we think it's coming along nicely. Here are the photos!
