John is almost done with our tile! :) YIPPEE!!
John showing me how to mix my thinset (mortar)
*********************************************************************************
I couldn't’t have done this without John, he was a good teacher! He taught me how to mix my thinset and grout. I’m sure his ears hurt because I was asking him questions the whole time I was laying the rock down.
I used the river rock on the mesh, BUT now that I look back I would have rather used just river rock. I ended up pulling most of them off and laying them free handed. If you guys want to try this at home, email me and I will send you the instructions. It’s easy, but make sure you have 2 days at home to dedicate to this project. It ended up being a VERY tiresome job!
Thinset and rock down! Now it must dry at least 15 hours before grouting
Grouting
Grouts DOWN!
Grouts DOWN!This picture was from this morning, the grout is drying. It's STILL not finished. I must go in and clean the edges up and polish the rocks. You can see some spots are darker than others, the finished product will be the light colored grout. When it's all complete and polished up, I will post the final picture. It looks so much better in person.
Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!
