Repairing the Tile Floor

One of the first thing I noticed is some of the small repair jobs that were needed around the Centre. As Moonie gave us our tour, showing us all the programming, sewing, computers, dental clinic, women's clinic, etc, etc, I noticed the beautiful tile in the main thru-way was damaged.
Throughout the weeks I have been figuring out the repair job. One of the challenges was finding the correct supplies. With very little Spanish, at one hardware store, a guy sold me a small bag of, what I thought was the cement adhesive. It had no label. But...after I mixed it...something was wrong. It ended up being plaster. I had to clean it off the floor as much as possible, let it dry for a few days and chip out the rest. Lesson learned! Sometimes 'signing' what I need (yes, I carried a tile with me) just doesn't cut it.
A few days later, I found an actually tile supply store in Ajijic. I was already with my translated- words and practiced my Spanish. I was telling the guy what I was looking for and he spoke perfect English. He was raised in Ohio! Oh, ok...I got the proper cement and I chose black grout.
I repaired the largest area with a spiral. Some kids showed up the day I did the grout. I was almost finished, so I didn't see any harm in letting them help me do the last two cleanings of the grout.
