Finally got the grout in. Some how traveling 4/5 weekend ends and a stomach virus ripping through the house really elongates your weekend projects.
Also we over used the thinset in a humid environment and two tiles didn’t take so that pushed us back a bit initially. With a second curing period required.
My wife mixed and applied the grout and I cleaned it. Just FYI if you are using slate stone tiles, they will not be smooth and even and so cleaning the grout will be quite challenging. Lesson learned. But we will likely tile two more bathrooms in slate subway style.
The herringbone was a fun challenge but no need to do it everywhere. Subway will be much faster and easier.
Grout sealer in 72 hours.
Quarter round and a transition at the door will complete this project.
