The kitchen saga continues: The tile work took longer than expected (surprise surprise!!) I did the grout work tonight. Now, I did not replace the whole floor, just installed "a few tile". While installing the few tiles I found that the tiles were not laid straight to start with. That means, yes, that the new tiles did not fit! I trimmed and cut, and rearranged, and cut some more. After 8 hours I did manage to get 13 tiles laid. It took another 6 hours to get the last 8 laid. The "fun" part is still to come. The tile I grouted tonight are with brown grout (had to match the bathroom grout in the basement - don't know why, but it had to). The rest of the kitchen (and dinning room) has grey grout. So, I will eventually be changing the grout in the rest of the kitchen. Don't ask when, but it will all become brown grout. The new cabinets are to be installed on Thursday and Friday. Sandy has been taking pictures as we go, so once I get back from Italy in two weeks or so I will post a few so we can see what I have been rambling on about.
