Backsplash Part 2

Well, today is the day to get the backsplash up. We are getting closer to getting this huge kitchen remodel project complete.

We started around 1 p.m. and we finished for the day just after 6 p.m.

Getting started with some strong adhesive, that feels like whipped cream.

Getting the outlet cuts just right.

Moving along…

My job was to follow along and make sure all the tiles were adhered to the adhesive, the spaces between the tiles were even and straight, and clean out the excessive adhesive.

Made it to the corner and we’ll stop for now to rest the back.

Looking back to the corner.

We just have the complicated area to do…

Filling in the areas around the outlet.

This complicated area has 3 outlets and a phone jack in just this small area.
Attention to detail is important.

Just a few more tiles to add and we are completed with getting the tiles on the wall.

The next step will be to apply a natural stone setter. Which is supposed to make the grout not stick to the natural stones. Afterward we apply the grout, then a sealer (to prevent stains), reinstall the outlets and the covers, and then we are done with this backsplash project!
