Deconstruction

I’m sitting here on Wednesday waiting for David to show up and wow me with his dispute resolution skills. I spoke to him last night and he said he would be here first thing in the morning. It is 9am.

I got home yesterday and Justin had been here all day putting up the backsplash tile - small rectangular glass tiles. Apparently they were difficult to work with as there was blood splattered all over the floor and bloody paper towels filling the sink. Jill even said he got some glass in his eyes.

I guess that explains how he mistook our concrete countertop for an old plywood workbench. The tiles came in 1′ wide sheets with mesh backing holding the tiles together, and as best as I can tell the correct option was to cut the mesh with a box cutter directly on the countertop. It is concrete after all, right?

So now there is a nice checkerboard pattern scored into the top of our $1200 workbench / vanity top. I’m sure this is a very sought after look right now, but I just don’t have the right perspective. Educate me, Paige!
