Almost there!

If you didn’t have to wait for tile to set and grout to dry, Ciera’s bathroom would be done. The positive, the end is in sight!!! Ciera’s shower tile is all up and grouted, tile is down in the shower area (just needs to set and then we can grout). After that, just put up the fixtures, the door frames, crown molding and a good cleaning – which means that is easy-peasy for next weekend. We did discover a trick that I wish we had found many tiling projects earlier. For anyone who has done tiling, it is pretty easy, but the worst part is removing the excess grout and getting all of the haze off. This is black tile, and the haze was ridiculous. In a moment of “what the heck do we have to lose moment” (for those who know us quite well, yes add in the colorful language and a few more phrases). I pulled out a paper towel and said, “try it”. Well damn, it works FABULOUS – pics below!

tile up – no grout
grout, not yet removed, but this gives you an idea of the haze this will leave
paper towel magic
whoop! whoop! Completed and NO haze!
last of the flooring to be grouted and we are done!
