Chase, I ALWAYS forget to include the note. ALWAYS. I don't know what would happen if someone actually got the letter that goes with my swap boxes. LOL No box here, even though I was gone all day. That's usually a sure way to get a box delivered, go somewhere. Mine is still here, I picked up another item today, one to go, if I can find it. If not, I'm going to have to go with a second choice. Sigh. Monday. I'm shooting for a Monday shipping date. Annie

Thank you, everyone, for your help. The beveled edge 2" foam brush worked best. It did get "mushy' the longer I worked with it which caused the sealer to spread onto the tile and have to be wiped off, so my "note to self" is to buy several and rotate through them next time I need to seal this grout. Done!!

Lots of great advice above. I especially like the emphasis on supporting individual artisans. That's how I justify my ginormous library fines: I am supporting the local library. For me, I often will have an amount in my head, beyond which an object just seems unreasonable to me, regardless of whether or not I can actually afford it. Currently, my own dilemma concerns a 4,000 range hood. For me, this is just not a reasonable amount to spend on a hood, no matter how much I love it. So, is there any conflict in your mind about spending for a faucet what you would spend for an excellent quality dishwasher? If not, then it will probably thrill you every time you turn it on. And who doesn't need a good thrill several times a day! If you go for it, check out Home and Stone. They seem to carry some versions of it for a teeny, weeny bit less. The only thing I wonder about is whether this faucet style goes with the mission style you described above (e.g. the oil rubbed bronze light fixure from Rejuvenation). Now, I'll be the first to admit that my design style is seriously lacking, so I could be totally wrong on this! But when I saw the rough hammered faucet, it made me think of my sister-in-law's upscale western style, "chic cowgirl" bathroom in Colorado. It doesn't read "Greene and Greene" to me. But as I said, I could be totally wrong about that! :-) francy

without pix... all i can offer is.. you did it before.. why are you afraid now .... besides.. it sounds like you already did it.. what is done.. is done ... what i dont get.. is why not just finish the job ... why wait ??? use the camera/photo icon below the box you type in.. to add pix to a reply ... i call most shrubs... run them over with the truck plants... as that is also a useful pruning method.. lol ... with no insult to the root mass... you might be surprised how fast they regrow .... ken
