Q: We just remodeled the upstairs bathroom in our 140-year-old house. The contractor did a fine job, but there's one thing that doesn't seem right: The grout is cracking in the shower where the tiled walls meet, and where the tiled walls meet the tiled floor elsewhere in the bathroom. The contractor has been back a few times to put more grout in the joints, but they still crack. What's going on?
