A week before we left for our maiden voyage, I decided to try my hand at tiling. We had leftover tile from a few years ago when we remodeled our hall bathroom. So, I asked Matt to pick up some thinset, grout and other tiling supplies. I spent a few hours a night working on the tile.
I started by cutting the tile to a dry fit, then applied the tile using a V-notch trowel and thinset.
I had to cut some corner tiles and didn’t need to get too close to the toilet.
Then, I applied grout and waited 24 hours to survey the final product. I found that the grout shrunk after 24 hours, so I proceeded to apply more grout. Luckily, the next night (the night before our maiden voyage), the grout was perfect and we were able to seal it.
Here is the finished product. We are still working on the sink and tub skirting, but that will come soon.
Just found your blog. We bring home our 31′ 1975 Sovereign next week! It looks so much like yours! (of course) Though, we have the bedroom in the back and a curb side bathroom, which is perfect for us since we have a 2 year old who will use the back bedroom at night. Excited to start working on it! We plan to live in it while we build a house! 🙂
