gap between vanity and wall

Please help. After the plumber installed our bathroom vanity, we are left with a gap between the backsplash and wall on the left side. The gap is large on the left side, getting smaller as it goes to the right, with the right side of the backsplash being flush with the wall. What is the best way to hide this? How can this be fixed? Caulk would fall through on left side as is. Shim first and then caulk? Call the plumber back! lol Thanks in advance!

Hello, Depends on the size of the gap, if really big use a peice of 1/4 round. If not too big fill the gap with plumbers putty then caulk over it. Good Luck woodbutcher

Thanks for your response. Gap goes from 1/2 to 1/8 inch left to right. 1/2 inch too big for plumber's putty? If not, that would be a great idea! Thanks so much.

Trim for shower surround

J

jason bolduc on Oct 03, 2002

I need to find a decent type of trim for the shower surround I've installed. There is a slight gap between the shower and wainscoting in the rest of the room. It doesn't look too bad, but I'd like something to cover it up. I've seen houses where they used actual wood trim, but I can't see this being the right approach, given the moisture. Thanks

how to vent a bathroom fan through roof?

R

robert smith on Sep 24, 2002

I bought a stronger fan to vent our bathroom shower to replace a smaller one that was vented through the roof. The newer fan has a larger opening (i think it is 3 1/4 by 6") and cannot use the old flexible ductwork. Access to the crawl space is not existent. What is the best way to vent the new one through the existing roof vent (solid ductwork or flexible?") thank you in advance
