Exceedingly Mundane

Yeah, the kitchen is looking really good now! Tim worked from home yesterday, and after lunch, we started on the grout in the laundry room, kitchen and breakfast room. It was long, tedious work, but we finally finished about 7:30 PM. Tim made one pass through to put on the grout (and it’s very messy, it gets on everything), and then we made about 4 other passes with sponges and water and dry clothes, to clean off the grout from the tiles and baseboards, and buff it clear. It dries in a whitish haze, and you have to sponge the excess off (2-3 passes) and then buff the hazy part of. Long day, but very worthwhile! We have tile WITH grout now!

Check out the pictures from yesterday…

Here’s Tim applying the grout in the laundry room… the top right corner is starting to dry, so it’s getting whitish and starting to harden:

Then, we went for hours without taking a picture, but toward the end, Tim took one of me working in the breakfast room on removing the excess grout with a sponge. So yes, you see, I did actually do something. You can’t see my fashionable kneepads in this photo, and that was on purpose! 🙂 This was about 5 or 6 hours later!

And here’s what it looks like this morning! YEAH!!!!!!!!!
