Took on the project of remodel our kitchen DIY style and am to the point where I'm ready for it to Just be done. We chalk painted our cabinets and I ripped all the counters and sheet rock above the counters out and replaced it, we had counters installed today and I started workings on the mosaic backsplash and have come to the conciliation that 1) I suck at tiling and 2)I'm ready to pay to just finish it. Anyone know a good tile guy to finish my backsplash, I should have everything needed to finish.

ETA it's a small job, only about 30sq ft

Have you tried YouTube? Someone who didn't know how to wipe their arse could rebuild a small engine with the right video. I look for tutorials all the time.

Still can't wipe my arse.

Sounds like an easy job but can't make it out there tomorrow. I enjoy it...would probably do it for next to nothing. Try Craigslist...but be careful.

Woah, tell the tile guy to clear his schedule.

Eta: My little sister lives in the area if you want her to do it for you, creampuff.

Not necessarily true. He'll find a handyman with tile experience and pay him $25, it will be done in an hour or 2, he'll give him $100 and everyone will be happy.

Yeah I'll just tip toe out on this limb and bet this ain't happening. No one in their right mind would do it for the $100 much less be enticed by $25 and then "bonused" to a c note.

OP Call Dal Tile and Pro Source and ask them for a few people that will do small work. They have them but be prepared to pay.

Try Greg King 315-2682. He is good and likes small stuff but stays busy.
