Completely fucked up tiling, the adhesive didn’t hold at all, it was still a little soft so I was able to scrape most of it off but now wondering what I should do, mud and repaint? Is there a backsplash option for an absolute retard like me?
I'm not going to bend my neck
stick ons are underrated. they're so cheap, even if they fail in 5 years you can put up something new.I used them on an outdoor cooking station that gets rained on and UV and it took 2 years for it to start peeling. indoors I would bet it lasts a decade.again, just cheap and easy; easy to remove and replace
>>2973946there's some nice looking options
>>2973900Traditional tile-setting with mortar requires the mortar to dry. If the walls have a bunch of oil-base paint and/or debris, the mortar can't dry through the wall, so it'll never cure. If you wanted to try again, use cement board as a backer. The cement board will suck the water out of the mortar.If you do a peel-and-stick deal, scrub the walls good with a degreaser and lay on some bonding primer to ensure good adhesion.

>>2973900You can’t post a picture. No way you’ll be able to handle tile.
>>2973952yo, that drywall is damaged.
>>2974020To be fair, if it's square tile the orientation doesn't matter much.

>>2973900Did you install your outlets that way just so they would be right side up when you took the picture? Like, there are arguments to be made for having the ground prong on the top or bottom but you were just like, fuck it, I want to be wrong no matter what.Then you have the fact that they aren't GFCI when right next to a sink. Maybe you have GFCI breakers but probably not.Also, install 4 outlet models. There are never enough outlets in a kitchen and now is the time to fix that. Rip out whatever pigs breakfast that is, put in larger boxes, and mount 2 GFCI outlets in each box.
>>2974204>mount 2 GFCI outlets in each boxGFCI outlets are very expensive these days. One GFCI can control the plain outlet adjacent to it. Each 20amp wire gets one 20amp GFCI breaker outlet.
>>2974205>GFCI outlets are very expensive these days.A 4 pack at Home Depot is $56. That is $14 a unit. Yeah, it costs more than a standard outlet but it still is not much money. It is so much easier to have the GFCI controls right on each outlet. Its the fucking worst when you have a half dozen outlets protected by a single GFCI. You have to track down which outlet the others are fed from and shitlord residential electricians always install it in the worse fucking spot. I could tell you some stories man. Fucking constructionfags. Always looking for a cheaper way to make everyone's houses worse.
>>2973900Fucking exif
>>2973952You can screw/glue some 1/4 " hardyboard to the back to resurface it.
