found this stuff on a return trip to Lowe's, stacked with the paneling beneath the trim boards (in case anyone was searching in the kitchen/bath areas like me). Basically, it's fake plastic tile on some sort of fiberboard backing. cheap stuff, about $16 per 4x8' panel. Wouldn't use in a shower, as I can forsee a lot of water penetration around the seams that would cause problems with the backing board. But my purposes were for a kitchen backsplash, and I figure that as long as I caulk the seams well at the bottom (I'm also using a thin PVC trim strip at the bottom of the splash), then the tileboard should be an inexpensive, functional backsplash material to go in this inexpensive yet functional house.
If this idea sounds like a bad one to anyone, please pipe up and let me know why before I go through with it.
thanx
