Finishing the tiles

25 - 28 May 2019

Again, it was well before I thought possible that the grouting started on the kitchen tiles.  Using a complex arrangement of planks to span between the solid points of wood floor, older kitchen tiles and firebrick plinth under the stove, Zed was able to reach every corner and lash in the lime-grout.

 Whenever Rowan comes to the house he says, 'where's my broom?' and starts sweeping up.  He is rightly very proud of our floor.

 Three days later, we risk walking on the tiles to start the scrubbing clean.  Mum arrives tomorrow.

 I had assumed we would be totally finished with the show-home arranging by the end of Tuesday, so I asked Rowan and Paris to come for a 'casual supper' (meaning no time had been expended on planning or making fancy food!).  With the way things worked out - and how long it took to scrub the tiles clean - Dave was painting the first coat of preservative on the tiles as I was lighting the candles for supper.

The next morning we painted the second coat, in between hanging curtains and moving furniture into place, before leaving for the airport.  Phew, just in time!
