grouting

last week we had the builders in to redo the floor grouting. its only taken 8 months and 2 independent reports to get it done. and after all the arguing and stress, its nearly all done after 2.5 days (just one bathroom and half of the hallway has been left to dry out)

the whole house is tiled (yep, even bedrooms) and all of the grout had to be scraped out by hand and new grout put in as it was so patchy and discoloured. this was because after it was done the first time the builder did not protect it from the rest of the workmen as they were building the house, wheelbarrows, cement mixers, etc.

when we got back from work on friday the whole house was covered in fine white dust. and big dirty fingerprints. and dead flies.

we'll have just about cleaned up everthing when the builders come back to do the plastering...
