My cousin Paul pointed out that the grouting in our upstairs bathroom was coming loose. Water from the shower did the damage. That, and a poor application in the first place. So, off to Home Depot. Of course, it's a special color, which required a special order. Rose Beige. We proceeded to patiently deal with the older gentleman who used Home Depot's ancient system to place the special order. After he finished, I asked him if we could have ordered it online. "Of course," he answered. Good grief. Well, two weeks later we picked up our special order and supplies for grouting: sponges, trawler, mysterious de-hazing liquid. Instructions basically told us to get the grout to the consistency of cake frosting. DO NOT mix too much water. Turns out, mixing was the easy part. Getting the old grout proved the most difficult. Flathead screwdriver + hammer seemed to be the most effective.
