Thought I'd throw in some updated pics how that the kitchen is complete. Fun project; learned a lot. Tiling is tougher than it looks!
Well, seems like I have to post a retraction. I used CCK for the kitchen and the work and price was exellent. I got in touch with the owner (Gresham) again for a small piece for the downstairs bath and went out and picked a remnant piece. He said he would have it done no problem by the time I came back from my trip. Since I got back a week and a half ago, he has not answered one phone call or any of the messages I left. Just now I had a buddy call him and he answered. Buddy said "sorry wrong number". I called immediately thereafter and got voicemail. For some reason he's avoiding me...NO IDEA why. I can't fathom how you can be in business to make money and not answer messages for a week and a half. Guess I'll be going somewhere else. Sorry to say, I can't recommend CCK anymore as they seem to be unreliable and behave erratically.
Gonna do a tile backsplash next, but for now I'm going to see BATMAN
