Sanded Grout

Watch all 4 segments, and pay close attention. It will save you a lot of trouble later. I watched them all several times, practically memorizing them before I felt confident to actually go out and start, and I'm so glad I did! I would not have known how to get such great results without these tips!

The consistency is so important! I found that the ratio that worked best for me was 5 cups of dry grout mix to 1.5 cups water. That let me do about 21-24 square feet of the 12x12 tile floor.

@anniemcu As I replied to your other comment, in a week the last two videos in this series will be gone. You're going to have to pay to watch. YouTube promised to make me big money giving this away for free. They lied. I've not made enough money from this tile series to pay for a lunch in three years.

Tim,

I currently took on the task of grouting my bathrooms, foyer, and kitchen but I'm having issues with the color of my grout.

I'm using a mocha colored sanded grout and mixing in grout boost for water sealer. As you mentioned, when it's wet, it appears to be the correct color (according to the mocha color that is shown on the outside of the bag of grout and the display of tile/grout that I saw at Lowes.) But when the grout dries, some parts of the tile are cloudy and some dark. What gives?

[sojiah]

Thanks so much for your videos! I love how clear you explain things and the quality of the videos are wonderful! Keep up the great work!

[raida357]

Thanks for the great instruction!

I used the same grout 4 months ago and a very thin crak appeared this week. Do iI need to remove the damged grout or would it be possible to grout over the already existing grout?

Your videos were great help by the way!!!

[AsktheBuilder]

The answer is maybe..... You have to determine why the crack happened. Whose to say it won't reappear a week after you repair it?

[sumbook]

nice tips as always Tim..

sorry for your loss..

[torontomapleleafer]

I would LOVE to tile our floor but we only rent so it's out of the question. If we bought the place, that would be the first thing I would have done, lol.

[LosAngeleno1959]

Thanks for the tip sir. I am going to attempt this for the first time in my bathroomand walkin closet. Appreciate your vids and my deepest condolences on your Mom's passing. May God bless her soul.

hey tim, are there such a thing as prescription safety goggles?

[AsktheBuilder]

If this was a bet one could make at one of the Bellagio's blackjack tables, I would bet Yes. :->

[DIEBUNNYHATER]

the people who owned the house before us used the wrong type of grout in the US and DS bathrooms :/ It's all flaking up. It's super annoying. I guess the point for the previous owners was to make it look good as cheap and quick as possible. :(

You always seem to post videos specifically for a project I am getting ready to move on :) THANKS!

[KingThorin]

how's the family tim?

[AsktheBuilder]

All are well, although my mom passed away about three weeks ago.

[qkilld]

I'm very sorry to hear that. My best condolences to you and the rest of your family.

[Sharkie626]

[shoefrmperu]

[AaAndreas2k]

What a nice bucket of grout you got there, Tim! Real nice indeed.
