One thing you'll definitely want to consider doing is to apply a coat or two of sealer to the slate BEFORE grouting. This will make it much easier to clean off any grout that does end up getting on the surface.<BR/><BR/>No electrical stuff in the closet AFAIK, but the a lot of the wiring in the house is pretty old, so I'll look more closely at that possibility.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12843204685450175996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4487277177832249919.post-82396433426444420472008-06-25T10:14:00.000-04:002008-06-25T10:14:00.000-04:00I just came by your site via the smell question on...I just came by your site via the smell question on Housblogs.net... As far as that's concerned, I'm stumped. Anything electrical back there? We had a funny smell that I thought was the AC, but was in fact the outlet the AC was plugged into melting out of the wall due to a short. It smelled terrible.<BR/><BR/>Anyway-- not why I wanted to comment! I think your slate looks wonderful, and you've got great tips! I'm planning to put some slate I got for a bargain into our laundry room, so I'm keeping a running list of things to remember. No grout on the tiles.
