Red Guard
Ruben seals the joints between the cement boards while Enrico takes a measure for the 12/12 shower tile, at the start of Day 3 of the master bath retile job. Fussy, fussy, Enrico scraped off the paint overspray that was revealed when the carpet was removed on the floor. He says the thinset won't bond well to cement anywhere there's even a light paint coat on it. A little care 10 years ago would have saved some work today. It will be a short day today; Ruben will be here early tomorrow with Enrico to follow. Stan got his work done early this morning; three mile run, paint the bath, haircut, rehang the mirror, two loads of laundry, bed made. Now he will watch the football game and listen to the satisfying sounds coming from the project area. Go Vikings. Coming home soon.
