Accountingsucks - is the tile in a shower or bath area or just around a sink or wall area where it isnt exposed to water?

If its in a shower or tub, knock on the tile and the ones around it. If ones well away from the one with the loose grout sound "more solid" and the one/ones where the grout is coming loose sound more hollow, then you might have a little moisture behind those tiles and need more than just a minor regrouting.

If its just white grout, a little white caulk probably would fit the bill.

I've also reattached loose non-water-contact tiles just by squirting elmers glue on them and sticking them right back on. Lasted 8 years until I moved, so it seems like it was a good fix.

And dang it...I've got a cockamamie towel bar in my bathroom. But I didnt put it up. I sneer at it every morning when I put the towel on it, then forget about it until the next day. Its number 172 on my things to do list.

Today I replaced a bad solenoid on an irrigation valve, readjusted several sprinkers in time for spring, dug up a couple in preparation to replace with some taller ones since my groundcover is covering a lot of air along with the ground, and laid in about 20' of concrete edging where my driveway curves so people who havent been here before wont be able to back over my lawn when they're backing down the driveway and dont make the turn.

Tomorrow I have to patch a 12x12 hole in the floor of our spare bedroom, level it and refloor it with some faux hardwood linoleum planks...and then go to my inlaws for dinner.

Anyone have any home improvement projects they desperately need me to do around 4pm tomorrow?
