Grout is on our to-do-list today.
After the natural stone setter, we let the tiles rest for a day before beginning the “biscuit colored” grout.
Beginning this task takes some practice and muscle.
I gave it a try but wasn’t able to push the grout deep enough into the holes. So Gino did this project by himself. I followed and did clean up.
A few hours later we arrive here…
This is a close-up of the area that was first applied with grout.
The grout starts to harden after 30 minutes so I had to move fast in order to keep up.
Polishing the glass tiles.
The grout comes easily off the glass tiles with just a scrap of your finger nail. The natural stone, the grout sticks to. So in order to see the stones you have to wipe it off rather quickly. That natural stone setter stuff Gino applied, doesn’t work. Oh, well, you learn and move on.
He finished this one wall behind the stove and then we stopped to eat dinner.
After dinner, Gino started on the sink wall but at the other end since I
was still working on cleaning the stove wall.
The stove wall is complete.
We need to wait 48 hours to do the caulk along the bottom and along the sides.
