You can see more green tiles are up, but it’s going very slowly–all those trips up and down the stepstool really do slow me down.\u00a0 At this point we’ve given up the self-imposed deadline of April 20 (when we leave for five weeks) and that takes the pressure off.<\/p>\n

\"\"I realized I’ve never posted a photo of one very tedious part of this process.\u00a0 Practically every single tile has excess cement that has oozed out the edges, and we don’t want any of that to show; there always has to be enough depth for the grout to fill up.<\/p>\n

So when I’m not doing something else, I go out to La Sirena with my little picking tool (actually a soldering thingie that came with my Radio Shack soldering iron) and scrape out the excess.\u00a0 It comes out pretty easily (hopefully that doesn’t mean the adhesion is weak as well) and looks a lot better when it’s done.<\/p>\n

Possibly some more work later this afternoon!\u00a0 But in the meantime…<\/p>\n
