General Tile Discussion

I FINALLY finished my shower tiling and grouting (except for the niches since I'm waiting for really cool glass mosaic tiles). I used Permacolor grout. Should I seal the grout and if so what product would you recommend? I can't find anthing online or on Laticrete product information on the subject.

I've been building a house near Carson City, NV for about 2.5 years (doing as much as possible myself. I'm getting close to doing the bathrooms and looking at the pebble tile my wife picked.

We have hard water and run a softener. Our current house is the same hard water and noticed the grout job was poor quality after watching hours of your videos. We get deposits on the grout line address of the tile and realized these are due to almost no grout and water sitting there and tons of mineral deposits.

Hence my concern about the new tile for the new shower floor. Looking at it, i noticed the pebbles are touching each other and would not allow grout between them to seal the way it should and afraid we'd have the same problem since it should allow water between the pieces.

For the first time in my life I received a tornado warning on the California Central Coast. It told me to please take cover in my basement if possible. Not having a basement I knew tubs were a popular alternative. Uh Ohhh.....
