Grouting 100726

Compared to incredibly absorbent Saltillo that takes hours of cleaning, glazed tiles are such a joy to grout!  Unfortunately, differences in shrinkage between batches of clay changed the tile sizes from the original template, and the fit isn't as good as I'd have liked.  The result is uneven grout lines.  Much of this will be covered up by the chiminea, however, and after I get the white and blue tiles on the facing I think these uneven lines will be less noticeable.

Still debating over how to do the front edge...bullnose tiles of some kind, or a grout bullnose like I did on the steps, or what?  First I need to figure out the layout for the facing and see if I have enough tiles in the pattern I designed for it, or if I'll need to work in some solid blue to eke them out, like I did on the front step risers.  And I'm really happy with how they turned out, so that's not necessarily a bad thing!
