Looks real nice Sno. How did the floor lay with those plank tiles? I always do mud beds.

 

[B.D.R.]

Nice job.
Tile floor looks interesting.

Kirdi backsplash?

Kirdi backsplash?

Why? if you have water up that high you have much bigger problems. If you didn't do kerdi down to the floor what good will it do?

 

[Snobnd]

Kirdi was placed on the back wall and that was my idea.

The title choice was the customer and in the tile you look at is a metal Channel anodized to look like copper.

But that piece of metal is not full its like a c Channel.... my two main areas of concern were by the sink area and the stove.

Call it overkill I call it a freebie worth doing..... What are friends for...lol

Under cabinet lighting will go im next week and I'll grab a few finished photos.

Why the hell did you do that?

I'm curious why myself

Well if you can sell it as an upgrade...

 

[Calidecks]

I put the tile right on my drywall in my home for my backsplash it's been there 5 years without issue. I'm not a tile guy so if it fails it's my own home I don't give a chit.

Typically an upgrade needs to just not cost more, but give an added (useful) value. Hell, I just prime the drywall on a back splash and start tiling. I'll even just use Mastic in most applications.

Doesn't that single gang switch beside the double gang piss you off a little?

Hack!

Heck I tiled my back splash with grout as the adhesive directly onto drywall...

I've got one in my kitchen that drives me nuts. Came that way and just never had gotten around to fixing it. Mine is a little out of level like his.

I had one that straddled a stud so I put a blank in the middle to make it look homogenous.
