Kitchen updates

The counter top manufacturers contacted the installer, and begged him to get us to do something we didn't want to do: settle for a floating backsplash.  They moaned and whined that it was just impossible with our walls being so out of square.

Bull.  Shit.  They just didn't want to exert a little bit of extra effort to do their damn job. 

I had a floating backsplash with my old countertops.  It was one of the things I was most looking forward to getting rid of, because you cannot keep under it clean.  I even tried using a toothpick.  Nothin' doin'. 

That said...I haven't had another "Um...we fucked up again because we're too fucking stupid to read directions before we cut the counter top" call. 

Still.  I hate floating backsplashes.  Hate them. 

Next year, we'll do something about that.  Something that involves tiles and trim.  I am not going to keep something I hate that much for longer than I have to.  Especially when it's nothing more than a harbor for unreachable dirt, and roaches that have fled a neighborhood remodel of a former slum-lord's rental house.
