thanks going to do white backsplash too

Got half the drywall inside the other half is outside wrapped on the palette still. Starting to hang ot today so I can run plumbing Sunday with my dad and get my heat on before puppies arrive. Next week between feeding puppies I'll have to try to get the ceilings done and leave it ready for spackle and taping. Once that is done my plan is to completely finish the master and then when puppies leave finish the other room.

If you cook a lot be careful with that it's a pain to keep clean. I have white cabinets in my kitchen never again will I have white anywhere near where I cook

all backsplashes get dirty and have to be cleaned. it just shows up more quickly on lighter colors and reminds you that it’s dirty.  i actually prefer that, because then i always know mine is clean. 

as long as you go with nice smooth tile, it’s a simple wipe down with some windex. the kitchen looks great, man

This is next to my stove and I clean it weekly especially if I do a tomato sauce or fry. It's not super dirty but gets annoying to clean. Just a FYI

I think it will look really nice when done and I'm not trying to change your mind just pointing something out that you may not have thought of. My friends have done that with me and I was very grateful because when you get set on one thing you may miss something or overthink something.

i know the pain. the light tile in my master bathroom is a pain to keep clean. 

the backsplash is actually easier. i just wipe it down whenever i’m cleaning the counters. once in a while it requires a sponge with some soap and water.

no I appreciate the comment, its always good to get a different view point and something I wasn't really thinking about ..

Thank You ! so far so good wife likes it so that is all that matters haha 

I forgot to mention, I really appreciate the craftsmanship of solid carpentry with the upper unit trim around the beam. All in all that’s a kitchen I’d be proud to show off

Got the lower side of one room done and started on the second room. I'm beat from carrying drywall by myself up stairs finishing lower section of room 2 tomorrow before my dad comes and we run plumbing and put baseboards in and turn my heat on. At minimum turn my heat on.

Hanging drywall is for young guys.

a lot younger. Of course then the tough part starts: mudding , taping, more mudding and sanding with dust that gets into every body part.

Yes, at our age it's easier to remember things that happened long ago than things that happened yesterday.
