Check √

Another check on the to-do list.  Tim had to take off again today for a Sunday pop-up trip and since we only had one car here my choices were to go along, which meant packing up in a whirlwind and running out the door, or staying until Tuesday when he can come back to get me.  Staring at the to-do list made it a pretty easy decision.

I've been waffling back and forth about what to do with the backsplash in the galley.  I thought about tile, but due to the curve shape of the cutout to the salon, and the rounded shape of the non-removable trim, tile would have been too difficult to cut and too thick. Next idea was mica, but it would have been impossible to match the off-white of the existing counters so it would have made them look old(er). Next I thought about that stamped tin that some kitchens use, but it turns out it's actually plastic and the patterns are too big for my small galley. I decided on polished aluminum which would match the doors on the cabinets behind the stove. It was a couple hour job, mostly because I'm not quite as handy with tin snips as Tim is, not having his 35 years' experience in aircraft fabrication, but I got it done and I'm pretty pleased with it. It definitely adds some reflecting light into a very dark corner.
