Well the tub is put in, the drywall was hung, mudded, and sanded, the floor was tiled and now it's time to paint. We picked this fab red color so I gathered up my painting supplies, and proceeded to get the painting underway. I painted the biggest wall first and had Pat get me a ladder so I could get up close to my ceiling with the roller so I didn't have to cut very much and that's when it happened... the epic fail:
Yep, that's right folks, that would be red paint in our brand new grout work!!!
While reaching up to paint the top of the wall, I neglected to hold the paint tray flat and instead tipped it to one side allowing red paint to spill all over our brand new freakin floor!!! At first I thought I was in the clear because I only saw it was on the tile but as soon as I pulled the ladder away I realized in that moment that my husband was going to KILL me!
I screamed for Pat to come help, fully expecting for some cursing to ensue but he calmly tried to clean it up the best he could. God love him, because if I worked that hard on something I sure would be super pissed at whomever messed it up! Luckily, our neighbor across the street is a floor guy so Pat is going to ask him what he can do to fix my screw up... I guess it's kind of unlucky for me because now the neighbor will know how dumb I am!
Ugh, I totally feel like the worst wife ever!!!
You can take the grout up in that area and put fresh grout down if you have any left over. There is a little tool you can get that looks like a steel toothbrush from Lowes and it will come up very easily. :) Other than that, I have no idea, but I would seal the grout as soon as you can.
