I hide behind humor, and first and foremost I always tell people "SEO is the best thing since fried chicken , water melon, grape soda, AND you can do it YOURSELF".

they wanted 3 grand to put a piece of plastic over the tub , it was laughable .

Urethane or acyrlic grout has many of the benefits of epoxy grout (plus a few more) without the significant disadvantages.One of the chief extra benefits of premixed grout like the stuff I'm talking about is that you can put it in with a plastic putty knife, a grout sponge, a bucket of water, and your finger -- it's practically as easy and teachable to an unskilled helper as a basic craft project.
