After a short break in the action and after mudding and sanding the rest of the drywall, it was finally time for the shower surround. This was easily the part of the project about which I was most worried. That is, up until I revealed the crazy subfloor situation and had to mess with joists. The key for me to keep a straight line on the tile was to go very slow. However this makes the hole thing take quite a while. The tile we used was 3" by 6" matte desert gray Daltile subway style tiles with 1/16" spacers.
The tile thin-set has to cure for 24+ hours before the grouting occurs. The grout for this type of tile is a sand-less white grout. The process is similar to sand grout, except the tool used has a soft edge for sliding the grout, which is more wet with out the sand.
