Barb, I hope hope we all don't have to wait another 25 years for the cure, I admire your humor after all this time. About the tile cure--let it. My experience with tile, says your contractor is right on the mark. To rush the curing of the t iles is to invite hassles later. Our contractor wouldn;t even llet out 11 pound cat walk on "HIS" floor. Suggestion - You could use the extra days to put your feet up and read a good book??, trashy or otherwise depoending on your taste. Pretend you're on a mini vacation as it sounds like most of your moving work is done.
