kitchen remodel 41
Oct. 9th, 2021 08:18 pmTile is in! I got the third wall done, plus the little pieces around the electrical boxes. Speaking of which, I only touched the leads once. Got a little buzz. But the whole thing took less than five hours, including the putzy part in the beginning, and all the cleanup. The adhesive mixed up pretty well, at only a third of the bag.
Next week is grout. I thought I'd use unsanded grout. They recommend it for gaps of 1/8" or smaller. The guy at the store recommended sanded grout (grout with sand in it). He said that 1/8" gaps can go either unsanded or sanded. And sanded grout is stronger. But I was watching more videos today, and they all say 1/8" gaps should use unsanded. And one guy said you don't want to use sanded grout on shiny subway tiles, because it might scratch. So I'm going to have to find some unsanded grout in light grey.
