buckets and buckets o' dirty water

Over the past couple of days Jed and I, with some help at the end of the day yesterday from Aaron, grouted the tile floors on the sunporch, foyer, and kitchen. For the most part, I pushed the grout into the joints with a float and Jed (bless his heart) followed me around with a giant sponge and pail after five gallon pail of water. As this was my first foray into tile-work, I was definitely not the neatest "grouter" and clean-up was no small chore. We generated an ENORMOUS amount of dirty water - many thanks to Jed for sticking with me! And, as the old saying goes - all is well that ends well, and the tile floors have definitely ended well... pictures to come!!
