Repairs

Deja Vu!

The tiles in one of my spare rooms started rising and became loose.

The same thing occurred in another room a few years ago which I also blogged about.

I want to punch my home's original contractor.

I had to remove 29 tiles.
I did so to prevent them from pushing and exerting more pressure on the other tiles.

 Finished! Good as new. Well...almost good as new.

I decided to fix it myself since I had nothing much to do anyway during weekends.

It's good exercise as well.

It wasn't really difficult reattaching the tiles, but the process can be hard on the knees even with pads on.

The part I disliked the most was grouting and applying the waterproof seal.
 It's a messy task and I did not like the smell of the sealant.

Thumbs up! My job is done.

If you need someone to help you fix your loose tiles, you can call me. LOL!

 I also used a trowel, a bucket, a small paintbrush, and some sponges for the job but I didn't include them in my computation since I didn't need to purchase them. I already have them in stock.

Happy New Year!!!
