Sooo Close Now

We were able to pick up the backsplash Friday afternoon (technically, I suppose it was delivered) and then got the countertop Saturday morning. I'm not feeling too wordy or descriptive right now because I am pretty tired from all the work we've been doing ever since so I'll just let the pictures below tell our story.

Here's Rob installing the countertop:


As it turned out, one piece of the backsplash was too long. It was the biggest piece and would not fit in our vehicle so we had to come up with some way to get it cut down without a plasma cutter like the metal shop used. We went to Lowes and found the cheapest grinder we could find and here is Rob, grinding it down to make it fit.


Here's a picture of the kitchen where you can see some of the backsplash in and countertops. There is a backsplash on the wall along the right side of the picture but it still has the protective white plastic on it. We just put that up tonight and are waiting for the adhesive to dry before we peel that off.


A better picture of the backsplash with the white plastic still on- you can also see the microwave brace that we got up.


And finally, the one wall we have totally done.


It's all gone pretty well but there have been a few challenges along the way. We just can't wait to be done.
