Latest Project

Well, here we go.
In case anyone was wondering what has been happening to The Fuzz lately, It's time to bring up the Latest Project out here in the Woods.  And it must be admitted, it is still in progress.
The Fuzz and His Sweetie had been talking about replacing the kitchen counter tops with tile.
In fact, there had been a lot of talk, but no action on The Fuzz's part.
And it was time to change.

The first step involved a lot of YouTube.
And then a trip to the Home Improvement Store to check out just what kind of tile they wanted.
And this was accomplished.

We wish we could say that The Industrious Fuzz jumped right on it, and it is a done deal by now.
Unfortunately, that was not the case.

And some after a few months had passed, it was time for Our Fuzz to get serious about this.
More YouTube
And back to the Home Improvement Store.

The Fuzz and His Sweetie thought they had a plan.  But as they gathered information, it kept changing.
No one can say The Fuzz doesn't believe in evolution now.
(at last as it involves this project!)

And even at the store, with "expert" advise, it changed again- several times, depending on which "expert" one was with at the moment.

At this rate, nothing was being accomplished.
So The Fuzz and His Sweetie took a deep breath, and settled on a plan.
And money changed hands.

Mucho dinero.

A "Before" Pix

It will be noted that there is already tile on the wall behind the stove.
This could not co-exist with the projected back splash scheme, and would have to be removed.
So the stove was pulled out, and The Fuzz went to work.
Of course that hood vent thing had to also be removed.
The breaker was thrown and the hood removed without too much trouble.
That tile was on there pretty good.  The Fuzz had to work to get it off.  He just hopes the new stuff will stick just as well.
With this accomplished, it was time to move on to the next step, getting the wall ready for the new tile.
