Light at the end of the tunnel?
This morning I cemented the top row of tile all the way out to the end!
I think there is now less than a 2-square-foot area of water to do, and then just the sandy sea bottom. If it looks like I can’t get it all done before we travel again July 7, then I may do the grout all the way up to the gold line of tile that defines the edge of the sand.
The grouting is going to be very interesting, since the tiles have such a wide range of thickness and the gaps between them go from zero to maybe 1/8″. I do not have good feel for how it will look at the end.
Oh! But before that, comes CLEANING the tiles, and SEALING any of them that have lost their glass surface over years on the beach. I have what appears to be some very good sealer for that task; it will be careful detail work with an artist’s brush. Anyway, here’s La Sirena at noon 13 June:
