kaypsmith Report post Posted February 1, 2017 Obedb, after the age of 39, women are opposed to mirrors, they like remembering how they once looked! And Carl, I also had a house full of three women, wouldn't trade that experience for a million bucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted April 8, 2017 Joe. Bet that was fun! Well, done... What happened to the wine glass? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jleamont Report post Posted April 8, 2017 Roland, thank you and I did use his products and I pre-grouted the tile then installed it. I colored my caulk as he only sells white. If you should ever tackle a job like this purchase tile that is all the same material, and NON glass bead filled some of mine were also peuter not tile. So when you grout with silicone it sticks to those and is a real pain to clean after. One trick I messed with and figured out I'll share. I took an old tube of caulk I had in the garage, emptied it into the trash with the gun, blew compressed air backwards through the tip and pushed the plunger out, cleaned the tube out, mixed my rubber grout and filled the tube, put the plunger back in and applied the finish grout with the caulk gun. It worked perfectly. Carl as I am already in the dog house I figured I'd let her have one round and took them off the counter.

rfsod48 Report post Posted April 8, 2017 Joe, How did you cut the tiles? Especially around the window. Did you apply a sealant or is it not necessary? Thanks, Roland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jleamont Report post Posted April 8, 2017 Roland, I used a wet saw with a tile diamond blade. The curves around the window were tricky. I actually had to hold a 1"X1" piece of tile with pliers and gently nick it with the blade to make a curve. They sit just below and around the window frame in case it has to be removed with the rubber grout between the tile and the frame. No sealant needed, most of them are glass and the ceramic ones are polished. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaypsmith Report post Posted April 9, 2017 Joe, a cake decorating bag with a round tip, "several sizes available", will work very well and is less trouble than your trick, although yours is very ingenious. Your job looks great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blakeloke Report post Posted April 9, 2017 Joe, excellent mod (as always)! We like the colors you chose. How did you finish the tile run towards the end of the cabinet near where you keep your remotes? Blake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jleamont Report post Posted April 9, 2017 Kay, I tried with the bags my wife had and it didn't work well, the grout was too thick. A smaller higher quality bag may have worked. Blake, I just ended it and used the grout to make a ramp to the wall paper. My plan is to locate a piece of tile that is 1/4 round. I have to go shopping for it. No tile stores around where we live.
