A few weeks ago I decided that one of my projects during Christmas vacation would be to install a backsplash in the kitchen. Backsplashes look nice and - according to me - they couldn't be that difficult to install.
By the time my first day of vacation came around I was completely ready to go. I had purchased everything I needed, and made plans to be at home all by myself to work on it uninterrupted. It took me all day and a bit of the next day to finish, but I managed to do it all by myself.
The good news is that I really did a good job, as it turned out very well. The bad - and unfortunate - news is that you could barely notice it once we put all the kitchen stuff back in its place. Regardless, what really matters is that I reached my goal. It gives me a great deal of satisfaction to do things that I never get to do when I am at work.
