The official laying of first tile. We decided to use the simplest white tile and spice it up with a green accent. This is the first time I tile a whole wall, so I try to do it as good as possible. Of course I forgot to put in the green accent tiles, but fotunately Alison reminded me just in time, before the tile glue had dried.
Alison and i had a whole discussion of using grout sealant after the tiling. I had never heard of it so she went to ask advice on an online forum. Of course there they said I did everything wrong. I should use cement board instead of water resistant chiprock, and use quick set cement instead of tile glue.
Ah well, I’ll might do that for my next bathroom. One that isn’t in a rented house. Everything I do is a whole lot better than it was.
