Looks like plaster, not drywall. The plaster behind the base is probably crumbling and preventing it from going back to the wall tight. So you'd have to pry that piece of base off (without damaging more plaster) then clean off any plaster that is sticking out. Pull the nails out of the baseboard then put it back on. Chip off the old caulk all along the baseboard and then recaulk it. Fill your nail holes and repaint.
I want to install board and batten in my bedroom but I have an obstacle in the form of an access door to the plumbing in my bathtub that's in the way and I'm not sure how to work around this. Any ideas?
Here's what I'd like to do:

Remodelling a 60's home. Initially I was gonna replace the 2-gang faceplate+switch, with a similar face plate. So during backsplash installation I tiled accordingly, including installing a PVC Bullnose Tile Edging Trim in two pieces (above & below 2-gang box) to allow for the 2 gang faceplate to place over them. Later I thought to add a wifi switch for the front and back porch lights (both are 2-gang types.) The new touch wifi switches arrived and they are 1-gang form factor though they have two touch switches each. Looking for ideas on how to install and have a clean finish, short of having to break the tiles, the sheetrock...just to install a 1-gang box.
Secondly, how is the yellow thingy installed? They switches didn't come with instructions.
