Yeah the backsplash idea is smart. I've seen this a lot where one person loves a crazy tile. Using it just in a shower niche or on a single bathroom accent wall usually makes both people happy. It gives that pop without overwhelming the whole room. I mean, you still get to enjoy the pattern but it won't be something you regret later.

Skipping the sear totally makes sense since, like skyler_lewis45 said, the liquid does all the real work anyway.

Wait, you only just did that for the first time this morning? That's actually wild to me. My mom was a total drill sergeant about it, so I've been making mine since I was like, five. Feels weirdly official now, like the day can actually start.

Oh, 'slightly bent couplers are fine,' huh? What's next, using duct tape for structural support? I love how deadlines suddenly make bad ideas sound reasonable. Do we get a bonus if the building leans more than the Tower of Pisa? Or is that just considered a design feature now?
