Gad! Don’t rinse your sponge in the sink. That grout will set up in your pipes!

Drew Scott installed textured floor tiles and had to use a piping bag to get the grout between the tiles so you may need that method.
@kuttfam0191Ай бұрын
All I could think was, I wonder if a pastry piping bag would work.
@marlene7969Ай бұрын
I was thinking piping bag and unsanded grout, too! Maybe it needed a couple coats of sealer before the grout?

I’ve done something similar to the backsplash and used a small piping bag. I filled in the grout lines that way then went back and wiped them down. It helped not use so much grout and kept the wood tiles painted. I wish I could have said this earlier. But it still looks great!

Sanded grout is for 1/4" or bigger grout lines and generally is only used on floors. The grit from the sand is what removed the paint.

Just and FYI... some of your veg looked rootbound when they were taken out of the pots. In the future you should rough up the roots a bit so they are not just going around and around. They will not spread out into the new soil in the garden, just continue to go around. They will do better going forward.

My father was an electrician and he always said that any wall wired power outlet should have a swith plate over them. I cringed, seeing the kitchen wall tile around an unprotected power outlet. The potential of exposure for electrical shock or a fire is alarming and dangerous. I am surprised that no one has mentioned or noticed this from the video. I know it may be a pain to reconfigure the tiles, but your parents and their home will be safer by placing switch plates over the outlets. Being that it is in the kitchen, even a splash or pour of water over that outlet poses a great danger. Please understand that I am not trying to be negative towards your hard, beautiful, loving work in helping your parents just concerned for everyone's safety. Prayers for your Dad. You both are a great blessing to your parents/in laws. Please get switch plates.😉😊❤🥰

I am so looking forward to holding in my own hand a handcrafted original English item to craft with. So cool. I agree with the others that the sanded grout might not have been the best choice, but it was wonderful watching you work through the problem. That goes a long way with all of us who have struggled. We're with you 100%! Phil, your Dad is such a wonderful man. We are all wishing, hoping and praying he can come home soon. He will live seeing the veggie garden.

I was worried that the sink was what would be ruined, after washing grout down--I'm glad the actual problem just requires a bit of painting! Hope Phil's dad is better soon. My mom just got out of the hospital last week (due to the virus we all wish would go away). Glad you're making sure he gets good care, and hopefully all will be well soon!

If it has a hazy look clean it with vinegar water , me and my husband install ceramic for a living , you should have sealed it with poly a few times before grouting it

I cringed when you put that wood backsplash up. Unless you apply a hardy coat of acrylic that wood is going to be a nightmare to maintain. Sometimes the best laid plans are not very practical 😟. Good luck.
@pamelao6762Ай бұрын
You would have been better off using painters caulk as grout. I believe the sand in the sanded grout and the use of the paint scraper vs. grout float assisted in the removal of the painted “tiles” I know you will make it beautiful for your in-laws.
@zoeb6778Ай бұрын
For any future projects, like this one (tiles), there is unsanded grout (not sure if there is premixed). We used it for our granite tiles. Wow, so many tomato plants! We needed tomato cages for ours. If you do get cages, get the really sturdy round ones. The square ones just bend all of shape. Can't wait to see all the veggies you have at the end of summer!

Could you have just applied caulking in between the tiles instead of grout over the tiles. Or just have used a syringe to apply the grout between the tiles, it may have to have been watered down

There is unsanded grout you can get. Not sure if you can get it in a tub or not but i have bought it in a caulking tube before. That way you could have squeezed it into the spaces and wiped off excess. I found this when i was grouting around my tube where tile met the tube.
@maryspangler1707Ай бұрын
You could have put the grout in a frosting plastic bag and put it just on grout lines. Less to wipe off and clean. I would have used caulk since it’s wood.

Praying all his test come out good. All can be fixed with little medical intervention. Then tile looks really good. I was worried about that when you put them up. You will fix them though. Seal them good. Mom looks good. Love your idea, with the project box. Think shipping to Florida would be expensive but will watch the shows. Sounds fun. Peace!

Tomato plants grow to be very big, hope they will come out ok, just pull out the ones that will grow under the shade of the bigger ones eventually. I have a green thumb sister in law and her tomato plants are all in their own large pots and are almost 2 feet high right now with small tomatoes already… in northern New Brunswick. I always tease her and say she is competition for Heinz as she cans tomatoes, juice, paste and sauce as well. Good luck with the gardening.
