Need help and recommendations for a diy job for parents.
Hello DIY! First time posting on here, some background information, I am a total noob and have no real knowledge or experience for doing minor fixes and updates. I was by my parents home and I really wanted to fix their kitchen sink backsplash area. They had a plastic bag/duct tape cardboard concoction before and I ripped the entire thing out to get a better picture of what the damage is. Ultimately, I want to seal the gaps between the sink and the wall where it meets, caulk and eventually use sticker tiles. Also when I was brushing out most of the loose edges I see behind the wall is actually just wood board and some paper glued to it? How should I approach this area to clean it up/fix it? There's also a gap between the kitchen sink and the wall to the right which is super confusing to me as why this would happen. I guess because of past water damage I had to scrape some of the old part of the drywall out, how would I approach this area? I just want my parents to have a better backsplash and appearance than before. Please teach me what to buy or do to assist. Any advice will help! Thank you so much in advance! submitted by /u/Maximum-Train6374 [link] [comments]
