i have a new name for the ‘worst character ever’

and it’s not ‘towlie‘, it’s TILE-Y.

i think i threw down a few pix of the tile in the

master bath just before i had actually done the

grout…

let’s all think about that word…’grout’.

it’s almost offensive.

it sounds dirty.

hell, it sounds like some sort of CONDITION.

‘hey man, you’re not lookin’ too well, everything ok?’

‘nah, man i got the GROUT. it’s tearin’ me up.’

‘duuude, sorry, yo.’

well, when we did the grout (eeeeeuw)

in the master bath i ran out of one kind and

in my haste ran to the store, grabbed a thing of

‘white tile grout, unsanded‘ and went back to work.

well the stuff i got was ass. (sorry mom)

it was more like a tub of ‘tub and tile caulk’.

totally vinyl, still pliable (two weeks later).

so tonight i am getting rid of it.

here are some smashing pix of the work.

grout removal

it’s not obvious from the pic how different

the old (good) grout and the different (crappy)

grout looks and performs, well here’s a better

view :

and if you ever have to do this little task,

don’t go and buy the $10.00 tool to the left,

(and i know most of you are pretty familiar with tools)

use your 5-way. it’s only about 10,000%

more effective.
