I live in an apt, and my super did a crappy patch job on the grout. When i scrub it, it falls out in pieces.
Can i do it myself? Tips? Thank you!

When your done, can you come over my place? The same thing is happening in my tub and I was thinking of taking on this project by myself since DH is clueless

It's not that hard to do...but how can youd eal with this?
Before You Begin: Plan not to use the shower (or tub) for at least three days. Grout and caulk need 48 hours to cure before you can apply a grout sealant, which takes at least another full day.

We could both shower at the gym....
But DH and I are NOT handy. We tried what we thought would be a really simple DIY- painting the bathroom. It is now pea soup green and needs a few patches.

I think it's ironic knowing the industry you work in.

PIMP!!!!! Dh asked me 'Haven't you learned anything from them?!?!' i told him the painters have their own union, they aren't part of the carpenters.
Besides- shouldn't men be born knowing basic handyman skills?
Ah, you're off on a technicality!!
Yes, I think they should...but my DH missed that. I'm the one that spackles and does all the work...

A common misconception I learned the hard way!
Well, it looks like it will just stay that way until the tiles fall off
