  - thanks guys. I just removed it and added it back (it was a Disnet app with maps for the site; wife loved it as better than the website) -- nm - Beaker Jul 26, 18:39
- there's more than one way, but this is the first thing to try: - b. Jul 26, 18:10

Random ST help request. The new wife and I are thinking about putting in a backsplash. Any tips? materials, sizes, etc.? Details inside. - Volnelk Jul 26, 16:27 26
- the simple but nice way, put some 4x4 tiles....get a book at lowes. rent or buy a tile saw if you have a lot of corners or odd pieces to cut, or if - zeitgeist Jul 26, 18:59
- Use glass over the top of whatever you do. makes cleaning easy -- nm - Karl_S Jul 26, 16:50
- We just put a backsplash in 6 months ago, although much smaller. - kelly Jul 26, 16:45 3
  - Cool. Thanks. It's really actually not that much space truly. Long thin area. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 26, 16:48 2
    - If its a thin area, you probably just want to buy smaller tiles. - kelly Jul 26, 16:51 1
      - Makes sense. It's 14 inches high mostly. So smaller tiles may make more sense. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 26, 16:52
- A different wife. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jul 26, 16:45 3
  - It's been 20 days. A little early to give up on this one. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 26, 16:45 2

- go to the stone yard and pick out the stone yourself. the colors & marbleing to it make the difference in the long run -- nm - peglegpete Jul 26, 16:31 15
  - and make them drill the holes in the stone plate -- nm - Doctor Tarr And Professor Fether Jul 26, 16:32 14
    - This may sound stupid, but I'm not really sure what you mean. Either of you. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 26, 16:37 13
      - don't go to Lowes and buy just anything. stone yards have hundreds of pieces of marble, granite and other stones in every color and price. decorators - peglegpete Jul 26, 16:42
      - this is what your looking for right? -- (link) - Doctor Tarr And Professor Fether Jul 26, 16:39 5
        
        Yes, but the whole kitchen, not just directly behind the sink. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 26, 16:42 4
        
        ohh :) i thought just to protect the sink you wanna tile up the kitchen? -- nm - Doctor Tarr And Professor Fether Jul 26, 16:43 3
        
        Yep. Everything. Maybe a different design element behind the sink, but everything. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 26, 16:45 2
        
        lots of ways to do it, here the current trend is large tiles makes it a lot easier -- nm - Doctor Tarr And Professor Fether Jul 26, 16:48 1
        
        and if 1 block of marble from the stone yard costs the same as a box of small tiles, it is a huge $$ upgrade for the house. and prettier -- nm - peglegpete Jul 26, 16:52
      - I was anticipating just going to Lowes and getting packs of like 12x12 squares which I cut and put up. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 26, 16:38 5
        
        Do you have any place like Tile Outlet around? - the liioulu with Jul 26, 16:47 4
        
        You can get packs of tiles of varying sizes that are on backing that's 12x12 or so. - the liioulu with Jul 26, 16:54 3
        
        Thanks. Just wondered if someone would say "Avoid having to cut tile" or "avoid metal because it dents" or something. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 26, 16:59 2
        
        He hated cutting the tile, but that might just be him. - kelly Jul 26, 17:21
        
        Well.. if you can avoid cutting tile that's better. And metal might require a little more skill to put up. - the liioulu with Jul 26, 17:02
