Long ago, in a galaxy far away... we had a project to put tile on the floor and wall where our front door and wood stove were located. After watching the video on how to grout tile, we said "how long could it take?" and started the job. Never mind that it was about 10 p.m. and it was winter so we had to work with the door open. When we finally finished it was the wee hours of the morning and the phrase "how long could it take?" has never been seriously uttered in our home again. Doing it was so traumatic that we never did grout the wall tiles, and it instilled a steadfast fear of grouting.
Well, today was the day to grout the backsplash tiles in the kitchen. In contrast to our earlier experience, this was a dream. Yes, it took pretty much all day, but it really was a successful job. Unlike many home improvement activities, this one did not even require a trip to the hardware store in mid-job for something that went unexpectedly!
This is the last major project in the kitchen remodel. We still need to paint, but that's a minor undertaking.
