Most recently when I texted with my friend and all things construction guru E, he had said he would not be available this weekend. So K and I planned to work on our kitchen backsplash. We have filled the niche, hung the drywall, used outlet extenders for the first time, and agreed on a tile. (the latter being by far the hardest part of this endeavor thus far. We bought about 5 samples and finally settled on this Jeffery Court tile from the big orange box store. It has colors that really tie to the existing Corian, but has sparkles of bright copper that will be a lovely accent.
We also decided that we would like a pencil trim at the bottom. I am not a fan of grout lines at the base of the counter and like the look of the pencil trim below. However, we might have to wait a bit to find out how all this comes together. E texted last night that he was available after all if I wanted to work together today. Well of course I did! And we did electrical! There will be pictures, in another post but they truly don't do the job justice. Part of that is because the lights are mounted in a temporary fashion until I am able to duct for the exhaust fan. But this is fine with me.
As a bonus, the extra time allowed me to do yet more research on the tile job and I have found a product that is a sticky membrane called Musselbound and think that I would like to use that instead of mastic. I ordered that and it will be in before next weekend. Meanwhile if I have free time (something always in a short supply around here) we can start putting up drywall in the section of the bathroom that is over the shower stall. We have a bit more levelling to do of the base area for the shower pan. And we can finish off the bathroom closet. It is coming along. And wait till you see the lights!!!
