    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    The hell color is your LC? Is it black or green. If it's green, get a good polish going and rock the bronze, keeping in mind they are very bronze and not even remotely light colored or gold

    Oh no, there are some screwed up grout lines. The key is to pick a grout color thats the same color as the tile.

    I have one tiled floor sectio in my house and that part of the floor is so sagged I'm pretty sure you could set a ball bearing on it and it would generate thrust. But the tile pattern and super straight grout lines hide the warp. Gave me ideas for an entire MC Escher house

    Yeah I think your current wheels look good on that, I'd paint the rock ring for a little extra pop. But it's hard to argue with silver/alum wheels on black.

    They have the color matched grout caulking that works great.

    I need to seal my floors and backsplash here soon before they get too dirty. The dining room will have an area rug under the table so at least that spot will stay clean.

    I bought the cheapest wedge leveler kit off Amazon and I gotta say it worked great. $40ish for 200 wedges, 600 spacers and the pliers. Wouldve been close to $100 at the blue and orange stores for the same chinese tools. My floor is far from level and only have one spot with noticeable lippage between tiles, so it was $40 well spent.

    I repaired my most unlevel spot the best I could before this. Still wasnt perfect, but close enough.

    Years of leaky flashing around the chimney caused water to run down it and pool on the floor right there. Not good.

    I need to go back over the whole floor with another grout layer, I think. I have 2 elevation issue spots, but they're in opposite corners of the room. The grout lines where the grout doesn't quite reach high enough, or didn't blend between sections is more noticeable imo, especially barefoot. The sponge was taking too much material out.

    I used mainly the poly grout that doesn't require a sealer, but I ran out at the end and mixed in sanded, so probably need to seal that tbh, especially if I go back over it since all I have now is sanded.

    But ya definitely I will get the wedges or something next time. I was just trying to keep it simple but I see now that was a mistake.
