Time-lapse video of us creating a backsplash that required each piece of stone to be set individually.
Why? Sheet lines.
Sheet lines are where two sheets of tile meet, and if not installed correctly, you will be able to see the line once the tile has been grouted (or even before). With this type of irregular stone, sheet lines are pretty much inevitable.
The solution? Remove the stones from the sheets and install one piece at a time.
Check back tomorrow for photos of the completed backsplash!

First Day as a Furry Supervisor
First day as a furry supervisor -- not really sure about his duties but super happy to be here.
Yukon gave the warmest welcomes each morning, kept a close eye on our every move, and always wanted to know what we were doing and where we were going. Such a good boy!
