Day 3 Installation: Grout

Today Brian showed me how to grout the tile we installed over the last two days. I feared for the worst, since the tile was natural stone, it was jagged and uneven...not like a ceramic tile. We switched up the float we bought for a smaller one, which turned out to be very smart decision. We both were a little slow starting out this morning just after 9am...I think we were a little worn out from the previous day.

Once we mixed up some grout and starting putting it on the tiles, things moved a little faster. The grouting actually turned out pretty easy...relatively speaking and we finished up around 2pm this afternoon. We started to install the spacers for the electric outlets so the face plates would sit right on the tile. It was a pain in the you know what, but after we decided we need some longer screws due to the thickness of the tile in some locations, it was a breeze. Brian totally bailed on me to hang with his friends, leaving me to fend for myself (just kidding buddy!!!). I finished installing the spacers and then cleaned up the counters.

Next up, caulk and dehazing the tile...

Here are pictures from today (these are off my iPhone...camera battery died, I'll try to upload the rest later):
