As the summer has heated up… the idea of taking a nice relaxing, cold shower in my hard worked for, travertine tile shower sounds really appealing.

However, there is a problem with that….

The shower is still quite far from functional.

The next phase of the project: Clean the tile to prep it for sealing and grouting.

Step 1: Get a sponge.

Step 2: Scrub.

Step 3: Sweat. Warning… this is a little graphic.

Step 3a: Scrub and Sweat at the same time. Sorry, no photo of that. I know you are sorely disappointed.

Scrubbing AND sweating is truly a great feat. So great in fact, that all photos of it have been deemed classified.

Step 4: Take off your gloves….

Admire your handy-work… doesn’t wet tile just look so great?

Step 5: Marvel at how shriveled your fingers are:

Step 6: Take a shower… in the other bathroom.
