I hate tile work. How big of an area are you doing to stretch this out six hours?

So it could double as an S&M / bondage room for midgets? I like your thinking on this one. :yesnod:

Next time I suggest you buy a grout float.
Spreading grout with your fingers is just not very efficient, and could result in injury. :yesnod:

rookie.

get some callouses, and then you won't bleed all over the work so much.

must work in an office, hands are too soft for someone who works with their hands.

6 hours to grout one room? However you're doing it, you're doing it wrong. :slap:

That's 6 hours of grout? Ummm... can't figure that one out. I did a 13x13 space in just under an hour and a half.
