    Are you putting in new tile? Just curious.

    I once removed grout from 600 square feet of floor tile with a hand held "grout saw." Fuck me! I spent four days leaning on my left hand, ending up losing feeling in it and was scared enough to go see a hand doctor before the feeling finally came back and I was able to straighten my fingers.


    Then, a few years later (after re-grouting) we tore it ALL out and put down hardwood. :roll:

    No, the tile stays. except for one tile that needs replaced.10 years ago when I installed the tile i never got around to sealing the grout. It's light in color and got dirty rather quickly.So, this past year my cousin(I live in my Aunts house) halfass attempted to regrout it and lets just say it wasn't the best job.

    Yeah I have one of those. Not gonna happen. My Aunt bought this power multitool by Fein? One of those vibrating deals.Fucking blades are expensive. already went through one of them carbide tipped. Looked online , 37 and change to replace the one she had. Gonna try to talk her into the diamond tipped blade. 100 bucks but supposed to last alot longer. As it is , If I continue using the type she already had , looking to spend about 120. So it seems worth it to me.

    If I have told you once, I have told you 1,000 times, you have to seal the grout... Wait, that isn't what I've always told you. That was someone else. What I told you was to always make sure the lips of your enemies are sealed shut forever, just like a good grout line. bah, six of one...

    I'd rather end up in a doctor's office than pay 100 bucks! :lol::lol:

    It was one of those jobs that, by the end, I was hoping someone would just shoot me.

    during that time you had no feeling in your hand did you eh... partake in a five finger shuffle and just pretend it was someone else?
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
