    To much time spent on grouting

    Morning All, I've recently finished an average size bathroom with white metro tiles and light grey grout, I'm happy how the job went but I am not happy that it took me 1 and a half days to grout, this seems far to long, was I cleaning up to much? How can i speed this up. Thanks

    Christmas Present Time

    It's December and it's that time we begin to buy presents for our nearest and dearest. It's always a very sad time for me. We were poor. One Christmas my mum gave me an empty shoe box. She said it was the Action Man Deserter. Next!
