Grout!

Melissa read up on how to grout and spent most of the day grouting the shower. I worked on building the chair rail shelf and listened to Melissa grunt and groan.

Later, I joined in and we finished most of the shower (didn't have time to do the floor or curb).

The next day Melissa mixed up unsanded grout, which we needed to use for the floor because the tiles have less than 1/8" gaps between them. After the floor, I joined in and we grouted the curb and the bathroom floor. Several days later, I applied a first coat of grout sealer and wiped it down. Finally, the next day I applied a second coat of grout sealer and wiped it down. Whew! That's it for the tile!

In conclusion, tiling is not a weekend project. It has many different tasks that all need ample uninterupted drying time before moving on to the next task. That is, if you want it done right.
