Daniel-san I feel your pain

This week we finished grouting all of the tile... finally. Concentrate Daniel-san...Grout on, wipe off, grout on, wipe off. That was just Tuesday. Wednesday was remove the haze day. You're supposed to use a dry cheese cloth and "buff" off the haze. Similar to buffing a car. (Where's Daniel-san when you need him?) But apparently we didn't wipe off enough of the grout from the tiles on Tuesday cuz this stuff wasn't coming off.

Time to consult the internet. Some of the forums I found said to use 50/50 vinegar/water. Some said just a sponge. So I tried the sponge. Much better. Thursday was Cinderella day... scrubbing tile with a sponge and a bucket. Chris was installing a new door knob to the basement and TSPing the rest of the door frames.

M: Can you see the difference?
C: Uh.. no.
M: This part doesn't have the brown stuff along the edges. Aren't the grout lines straighter?
C: *blank stare* Uhhh.
M: You still can't see it???
C: No =(
M: *sigh* ...men!

Today I buffed the clean tiles and now they're all shiny. It said to wait a week before sealing the grout. That'll probably be Tuesday. Joy.

Chris slapped on another coat of primer in the master bedroom. We got a nappier roller that would hopefully get more paint in the texture better. It worked okay in the beginning. It might've been nappier than we needed. After I was done with the floor I patched up the kitchen walls. All the paint chipping left divots and some spots that didn't come off. So I was putting on spackle so we can sand it later to get a flat wall again. We'll sand and prime the kitchen tomorrow.
