I have to replace some dirty and moldy grout between the tiles above

has to stay dry for 36 hours. That would be impossible, unless I moved
to a hotel for two days. I take two showers a day, and that's the only
bathroom I have in my home.

Can you recommend some really fast-drying or quick-drying grout
compound? It would just be for this small repair--maybe two square feet
of tile that needs to be regrouted.

Yer jokin', right? If you can't live without a shower for 36 hrs, you
should just shoot yourself now.


I work out on an elliptical trainer every day, and I do get pretty ripe.


You do it camping style, with a bucket or the kitchen sink, and a sponge
and a washcloth. Not like you are turning the house water, or the water
heater off, after all. It takes a little longer, so you have to get up a
little earlier, but for the 2-3 days involved, not a big deal for most
people.

Of course, if a SWMBO is involved, they may wanna go visit mother for a
few days.

And if you are remodeling the bathroom, I really think you can skip the
elliptical for a few days with no risk to your training routine. Wiping
that grout and a fast walk around the block should add up to about the same.
