Question What to put in first: tile backsplash or countertop?

Hi,

I'm currently updating my kitchen backsplash and countertop; my question is should I put in the tile backsplash first then get the countertop to lay against it? Or should the countertop be put in first and then tile the backsplash from the countertop?

Thank you!

Always the counter top first!

Yep, countertop first, otherwise you're guessing the height for the backsplash.
