Good, that part sucks almost as much as sealing it does. I don't find grouting all that bad on the floor. It went pretty quick. Setting it took a long time. I had to make about 100 cuts. I suppose the fact that I did it as a profession is why I think it's tedious.
Not many professions have you on your hands and knees that's for sure!

Another rc.com match made in heaven!!!! Only if she buys me dinner I agree with the bitch sentiment. Lets just hope she had a better reason than that and was just using it as an excuse. She didn't want to say it was your ____ (adj) penish.

That's awesome! Great that you had some help. I told no-body about it except my Gandfather, who invited me to check out his gem stones (he's been a gemologist for 40+ years) and to let her know she could look through them too to pick out one for her engagement ring. On the propsal climb I had a symbolic ring and she finally got to chose her own ring with Saphire my grandfather dug out of the ground, cut and polished himself.

no one but my sisters knew. I couldn't think of any other way to get the size, and I got one with a design that goes around the circumference. So, cutting and fixing it later was not an option.
