I never liked that kitchen anyway…

Today I geared up and started swinging my iron toward our kitchen’s backsplash. It was good, messy fun as always and it shed some light on what it’s going to take to move the vent hood over a few inches.

The plan still stands to tile up to the ceiling and around the window.  I’m actually going to take a stab at putting in the drywall this time. And when I say put up drywall, I mean help my skilled drywall-technician put up drywall. It’s one thing to screw in the drywall but it’s another to do all the measurements for the cutouts. I’m going to hopefully cut down on the labor time by being his assistant, plus I’ll learn good cutting tips and if I’m feeling brave the next time… then maybe I’ll consider doing it myself

Below are a few pictures from today’s work.  I’ll spare you the wasp nests we found between the studs.
