The Groutening.

So, the bathroom got grout today. It took all day with the application, then the cleaning then the washing then the scraping to get it out of the texture on the tile, then more washing. Started this morning after breakfast at about 7:30am and took a break at 6pm for dinner and just finished up with the detail scraping and a wipedown, as seen on the right. Did the whole thing in 8ish 1pound batches that took about 40 minutes each, 10 to wait after mixing and 30 to apply. During that 10 minute window I would go out to the garage and arrange stuff and see how dad was doing going through and labeling all of my tools, now I need to go through and inventory them. Sounds like a job for a db. Tomorrow it is off to my uncles to cut the parts for the wall cabinets and trim the counter block. Tonight I also mixed up the dye solution and did a color test on each of the materials.

Yesterday was spent with me up in the attic for most of it. We re-wired the bathroom and mounted a ceiling fan in the bedroom. I also re-routed the stove vent and made it a bit better.

Dag. Looks good! Nice to see apocalyptikitty in position, too.

Ceiling fans are rad.
