Bathroom Remodel

Nancy and I remodeled my bathroom a few years ago. In time the grout developed some bad spots. This was our first grout job so we made a few mistakes. This year I took a dremel tool and a tile bit and cut all the grout. Nancy then took the grout grabber tool and scrapped the grout. Nancy's final touch was with a grout saw tool. The end result was the majority of the original grout was removed.

To ensure she did not miss anything Nancy used a head Flash Light to highlight the areas. What was nice is this Head Light was given to us by our friends in Texas. This along with their advice worked out great. They did not even charge us a consulting fee.





Nancy installed the new grout and cleaned off all the excess. Job came out perfect.






I am not a great caulker but this job turned out pretty good. There might be a rough spot or two but what the heck. It looks great and doesn't leak





Nancy is admiring the tile work. The grout is a perfect match throughout. The first time we did this job we mixed the grout from powder and we had to do two batches. A friend of ours, Les works construction in Texas, and he told us that when you mix grout from a powder the amount of water and just about everything you do affects the color. This time we used premixed grout and it was great.


All the work is completed so Nancy is ready to head out for dinner. We even had dessert. This project took a little over a week and it is now completed. This is the best part of any project GETTING
TO DONE.






Here is the finished bathroom. It is a small area but serves its purpose and looks great. We are glad this project is completed as the original grout did not match perfectly and that was a sore point with us.
On to our next project the basement recreation area.
Thanks for viewing the blog and hope you have a great day
Rick, Nancy, Bandit and Belle
