Backsplash - It is complete.

Dale, the tile guy from Outer Darkness Virginia, finished the backsplash today, and it is a stunner.

On Monday, the Commonwealth crew punched a hole in the outer wall for the GE Monogram hood. It was a mess, and poor Tim may have PTSD from the ordeal. When Dale, the tile guy from Outer Darkness Virginia, left on Tuesday this was the result.


He'd also laid everything out on the other counter so that he could easily assemble it the next day.

When we got home on Wednesday this was the result below. Still needed to be grouted but is was mostly done. Steve said that Dale, the tile guy from Outer Darkness Virginia, is a true artisan.
Here's a detail shot. He took many of the glass tile off their adhesive backing because he wasn't happy with how the colors were lining up.

Tonight, M and I had a late work day. Both of us didn't finish up until around 6pm. When we finally got home we were greeted with a finished tile backsplash.

Here's the detail shot. The glass tiles have all those autumnal shades of color we chose. We selected this with Melissa in January, I had forgotten what it looked like.

Here's the upper portion. The Drywall compound is still wet.
This at least done. Le sigh.
S'all for tonight. I am toast.
