There seems to be a theme for the month of March

....a second dirty job in just as many days. I just got done bailing out a toilet. It was a clean toilet---never used, but I still have to take a shower after something like that. My husband installed the new toilet in an empty apartment, but it had a hairline crack that he noticed when a small puddle began to collect on the floor. I decided to sponge out the tank and then used a rag to get every bit of water from the bowl so his job will be a little easier later tonight or tomorrow or whenever he gets to it. I think we should've bought the toilet I saw at Costco for less money and a two-button system. A light flow for number ones and a second stronger whoosh for number twos. But, since I'm not the one who can carry anything, I'm a slave to the type of toilet the man wants to buy. That's the only way I'm a slave though. And keep in mind I can always hire a 'handy' and pay them to bring home the heavy things that rank really high on my "This is the Kind I Want" list.
I finished the grout job in that bathroom. FINALLY. All I have to do now is wipe the haze off in a couple of hours and then go over there to mist the grout lines for three days. That was a big job and I'll put up a photo when it's all sealed & spiffed up. I used 6x6 tiles this time. A couple of years ago I used 4x4s and that took a lot longer. I don't think I'd use the 12xs in my own bathroom, but I know from direct experience that I'd never go smaller than 6". Maybe rectangle or the 1" kind that are webbed together in 12" squares. That might be cool.
