Help replacing behind bricks
Need some pointers here. Appreciate the advice I've had in this sub.
I removed existing drywall that was installed before this brick fireplace was built against it. Original was 1/2 in. I can't really slip a sheet behind the bricks now, especially down towards the bottom part. It will almost go, but it's just flush with the edge.
I could butt up against it but I was trying to make it a little nicer. Before I tried anything, I had a contingency plan of maybe using 1/4in behind there and transitioning back to 1/2...somewhere? I really only want to slip behind the brick just a little, an inch or so, don't need much depth really.
Honestly, I can probably manage something that's decent looking, but surely you lot have some better ideas for me? It's my house, so a good solution can be painful and time consuming.
