As if installing tiles with millimeter precision was not challenging enough, now all the tiny spaces between the tiles have to be filled in with a concrete-like compound called Grout that comes in a bewildering variety of colors and textures.
So we went from tiles with dark gaps:
to blue/white grout in the gaps:
The floor and tub deck also got their shares of grout:
Of course grout should not be confused with mud, which is something else entirely and is used to level out the surfaces of the walls and hide the less than masterful work of the original drywall installers:
Next step is installing the trim pieces, paint, and reinstalling all the bits and pieces that were taken out, such as the toilet and the cabinet doors. I guess they are taking their time to do it right, and that's good, but we would all really like to have the bathroom back.
