I already removed the spacers using a nail and hammer. It worked great without any damage to the tile or the mastic.
About half the spacers seemed to be sitting up rather high, and I worried that if I grouted over them the grout would eventually flake out, as it would be less than a 1/4 inch thick.

Have you ever had that problem when you grouted over the spacers? Not removing them sure would save time and energy!

Anyway, spacers are already removed and I grouted last weekend. It looks great and I am quite pleased with myself :-)
Now I just have to seal the grout, replace base boards and door jams, and paint! I wasn't planning on painting, but now with the lovely tile the walls really need a frsh coat!
