Grouting 1
I arrived at 8am on the Friday to find the tilers scratching their chins and looking at the sky and muttering. It wasn’t raining. Eventually I managed to coax out of them that it had been raining in the night and so the cement would be wet and therefore we could not grout. The night before I was about to cover the structures in plastic, but they stopped me saying it wasn’t necessary. I bet they wish we had now. Hey ho. What surprised me was that they thought it was necessary to put it off. If it had been me, I would have considered it fine to grout. This just shows that the professionals know their stuff. These guys are very good and very thorough. I trust that they really do know what they are doing. It makes sense that if the cement is completely dry, the grout will adhere better and the whole thing will be stronger. So although it was annoying that we had to wait until Monday, I was happy that the job was being done properly.
