Back Splash!

Count the obstacles on just one of the three walls that were tiled today.

Tricky cuts were no match for Virg's spiffy new tile saw today, as he swiftly shaped edges and corners around a multitude of obstacles spread out along the backsplash in his Eden Prairie kitchen.
Kim and Stan watched as he fit together tiles for two corners, a window, a sink and a dozen electrical outlets. . . they were busy as well, mixing and smearing thin set and pushing the tiles into the proper place.
Virg and Kim chose a gorgeous stone a while ago to complement the new kitchen granite and cabinets. Today we got the first look at the tiles in place. . . and it is a beautiful result.
You'll see the final reveal when the grout is in, but that will wait until after Kim's business trip to Bainbridge Island.

Cornered.
