It’s been a year since my last post. I’ve been silent but I have not been idle — that too-small sink cutout from my last post got fixed by the plumber’s helper, who trimmed it easily with a grownup’s saw when he arrived to hook up the lines. Then I finished the cabinets with black paint, tiled the backsplash with 4 1/2 inch white squares, installed matching appliances and a new tenant moved in.  

The backsplashes add a lot, even though I use whatever tiles I find on the sale shelf at Lowes.

I’ve done two more kitchens since then, and have one more to go.

Here’s one. This place is already occupied.

Here’s another one, finished just last week. Still needs caulk.
