How to install grout...Part 1 of 2...Removing loose tile grout before installing new grout patches

Okay, you got to bear with me. This is a very small Shower, it's only two and a half feet wide and four feet long. That's all the bigger this shower is So if I have some tools out and stuff, I'm just gonna have to Know that I'm in a cramped area. Okay, so You see this Area on the floor here. First thing I want to do is just scrape this out. This this is a Grout that is kind of built up and come out around here and Solidified all up in here. I'm not sure how this happened. We're gonna have to scrape it off And I've got an older Putty knife here and it's not working too. Well It's not very sharp. I want to scratch the tile or anything like that I need to get this sharp. You got any ideas how I can get that sharp I'm gonna show you right now Here's a tip for the day You've got a dull putty knife Take it on a concrete sidewalk somewhere. It's not gonna show up anywhere Rub it back and forth Just like you're scraping something off. You'll put a nice Sharp edge on it This is an old sidewalk. So I'm not worrying about it. You don't want to do this on a new sidewalk That's good, oh It's pretty good how I sharpen that Putty knife, huh? It's nice and sharp now That's good Works a lot better When you sharpen that make sure you don't Do it on your nice concrete sidewalk out front do it somewhere underneath the plant or underneath the deck Somewhere where it's out of the way You know those marks will come away after a while anyways, but okay, so All right that turned out. Okay. I got all this stuff off the tops now where these Where these lines are where I scraped I want to just gouge that down and clean all that up I'm gonna do that around all those areas Just gonna take my putty knife nothing special here and Clean that and that goes right down to where the existing tile was and I was I Was hoping it that top layer didn't really affect the bottom of this tile and of the ground actually and The grout still looks pretty good under there I'm just going to carefully Do this on these lines? Okay, I'm not going to get any special tools out Because like I say, I'm just patching this And I want to make it look a lot better than it is now But without putting too much time and effort in it. I still Want it to look good when I get done But I can't spin it an arm and a leg Time wise money wise and all that You know if I if I wanted to do a better job than this I would Gouge out all the grout and redo the entire thing, but we're basically patching the existing and Trying to make everything look Like it matches. Okay All right. There you go Okay. Now I'm gonna take my nail set And I'm just gonna probe some different areas here and see if there's anything loose around the areas that are gone Just gonna tap a little bit not much I Want to get back to hard Grout notice there it was kind of hollow when I first started and then it got a little Sounded up nice and strong there Okay, that's what I'm gonna do you just have to make sure you don't hit too hard Obviously, we're just cleaning up the edges. We don't want to go down too far And that's why you need a small nail set Because you don't want to damage the titles Okay, this this one is really tight. I can't get in there. So that's gonna have to stay but I clean that up Okay, that that feels tight, all right That feels tight Okay, all the other areas are tight so It's gonna take the screwdriver and clean off the edges I can take my putty knife and just Check that over again All right Okay, that area is ready for some grout But before I do that, I'm gonna check some other areas too
