What product should I be looking for to finish these corners?
I’m only a moderately experienced DIYer so please bear with me if this is a dumb question. We recently had this room in our house redone. It was added on at some point after the house was built - the brick used to be the exterior of the house. I did the demo, contractor installed insulation and put up the drywall. While demoing I discovered that the previous drywall was screwed directly to an old shiplap wall that was directly behind it. Shiplap had to go to make room for insulation. We opted to not fur the studs, which means the new drywall sits back a bit further than it originally did and now I have these unsightly corners where drywall meets brick. I’m not sure what kind of trim/molding I should be looking for to finish these corners, especially considering how it will meet the baseboards. The conduit is another challenge. I know it’s ugly, but it was necessary to run electrical to the other side of the room. I’ve come to terms with the ugly of it, and may explore some kind of box to cover the area where it enters the drywall, but I’m open to suggestions. I’m not expecting perfect with this, just hoping to clean up the seams and make it look a little nicer. I’ve got all the tools needed to cut trim to the correct size. I also have an 18g brad nailer, would this be sufficient for attaching trim to the drywall? submitted by /u/allie8010 [link] [comments]
