Shannon's Kitchen--Time to Cover!

After, having the plumbing and electrical roughed in, we received a "green tag" from the city. I love green tags! It means that we passed inspection, yea! Now we can cover everything up. Here is what it looks like today:


The ceilings and walls are covered in 1/2" sheet rock. (If we were installing sheet rock in a garage, we would be required to use 3/4" thick.) In the space where the backsplash will be, we installed hardi backer board, this is a cement based board that is water and flame proof. We use it in all areas that can potentially get wet. We used green rock in the lower part of the kitchen for its water resistance. It will take a couple days to float and tape the sheet rock, then it's on to the floors!
