Well my experience as the tile-meister in the kitchen has met with mixed
results. The mix is mostly good, as the replaced grout and tiles look as good as new, but I also managed to raise a cloud of grout dust worthy of, well,
something really dusty (my gift for metaphor fails me at the moment). What's
worse, I failed to think of closing the doors to the kitchen as I worked, so
there is a thin layer of dust covering everything in the house. I had a
filter to breathe through, but I think I would have been better off with
SCUBA gear, because the whole procedure has left me feeling a bit sick... but
hey, did I mention how good the kitchen looks? Cough.
