If your neighbors work for nurseries, have yappy or mean dogs, erect two fences around their property, are livid when PGE goes in and places Smart meters on their electrical box, have motion detector lights on their house and locked access on all parameter gates you can bet its a grow house.  

If I have white cabinets, and a darker brown countertop, should I use a light color backsplash or should I use something brown or would a mix be best?
