Meeting countertop when the wall is not level

[Marcus_R]

Facing a tricky problem that the carpenter happily solves in the simplest way: sealant.
I wonder if it can be made neater.
A very uneven wall received drywall. Unfortunately, it didn't become completely flat and bulges out in one spot. Now the countertop and sink are to be installed. In the seam between the two, there will be a gap at the back of about 5mm. How to fix this gap?


1: fill the gap with sealant/other
2: saw off the wooden strip at the front of the countertop
3: mill away drywall on the wall so the countertop comes in more
4: tear everything down and start over

Since the countertop has an oak strip at the back, it might be difficult to cut it.

I guess problems like these are what carpenters hate, where the solution is simple and the customer is difficult.

You wrote the answer yourself under point 1. Regardless of alignment, you will probably want to seal against the wall with silicone so that water doesn't run down there. If you mask it evenly so that the joint is exactly the same width throughout the entire length, no one will ever see this...

With reservation that I misunderstood the entire question

Edit: ahaa
and I did, yes...
I think in that case you place spacers at the attachment of the sink on the left side and on the right side of the countertop until the gap disappears. The joint against the wall should then cover the irregularities. It may be that you need spacers in more places depending on how long the "counter" is.
