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.
