Back Splash...Done

Have you ever had those moments when you see a short video or tutorial on how to do something and think to yourself, "I could totally do that"?  Well, I did and...we did!

I will admit that the video I watched did not include everything we needed to know and there was a little bit of a learning curve.  That is why we started with the part of the back splash that is well hidden.  Ha! Ha!  By the time we got around to the part that is most visible we were pros!

This is us working with mortar to hang to tile.  At first we used way too much mortar...what a mess.



Time to grout.  Again used way too much at the beginning.  By the time we got to the end we were scraping the bottom of the bucket and using any excess grout we could find anywhere.  I was determined to finish without having to go to back to the store to get more grout.


The finished product...


Not bad for amateurs.
