I spent 20 hours of tiling this weekend and all the subway stuff is up. Using a wet saw is extra fun when it's below freezing outside and ice keeps building up on the deck and table. That's the deck that I walk around on, and the table for the wet saw which the tile will now slide around on.
I could have probably plumbed the 1/4 turn valves but really don't like shutting off water to the house when there's 30 minutes or less worth of daylight left in case something goes sideways. Today I'll plumb it, finish the mosaic, and maybe do some grouting.
There will also be a fun call to management at the countertop place to discuss why they are trying to charge me for a re-measurement they requested, and why when I pointed out on the invoice that I was getting 2cm instead of 3, they just changed the number and the price remained the same. This follows the sales idiot reneging on her earlier promise of redoing the countertop and trying to double charge for it and add a removal fee for getting rid of their original defective work.
