Angela - I don't know what question you had about the grout. I had suggested to buy the upgraded grout with the stain resistance built in. I wouldn't go for epoxy grout - certainly with the OK from the tile guy! - because that stuff is quite expensive and difficult to work with and overkill for a bedroom floor. Call your tile guy and ask him what grout to get and where he suggests to buy the setting materials. if you have trouble picking a color, choose the lighter of the two tones

Is there a reason why the main piece needs to stay? If it's a matter of not being able to move it yourself, is there someone you could get to help you, or alternatively, pay movers?

We have moved 3 times. Next time I 'm going to ask the buyers of this place would they like to buy my patio/pot plants. Plants are so bulky, heavy and awkward. Each time we have moved I have used such care but my favourite's have still curled up and died, not adjusting to the new environment. I think better to get a few dollars towards the new ones. After selling our last house and moving 500k's the agent rang me settlement day, said the buyers wanted to buy my patio plants. To late we had hired a trailer took them to the new place where in 6mths they were dead. If I'd only known !!

one idea that we've had great success with on acres and suburban gardens is mounding up builders rubble and rocks into long piles and then covered with course sand, pebbles and mulch to make great well draining mounds for a variety of natives including Correas and pittosporums
