To start off my vacation, my first chore was to tile the bathroom. Although this post shows it was just a short process it was actually quite time consuming.
For many weeks, before the process even started, I colored grids and copied other tile patterns to get the design the way I wanted it.
It took over 13 hours to set the tiles and over 7 more to grout, which I did a few days later. Then there were the numerous days of wiping and re-wiping the tiles to get the grout and haze off...I'm sure I will wipe them a few times more!
I couldn't be happier with the tumbled travertine tiles and the look is exactly what I had in mind.
This was harder and more time consuming than I expected - since the bathroom is rather small and it was difficult working behind the toilet. Luckily the toilet was far enough from the wall for my hands to fit.Now, all that's left in the bathroom is re-caulking the shower, installing a sink and faucet. Getting a light over the sink and an outlet in. Hanging the fixtures, getting a new floor and decorating! Of course, the list is long, because there's always something to do! But the end is nearer than the beginning!
