    My shower was made of drywall, which I found out about when mushrooms started growing through the grout. I was able to demo the whole wall with a single pull because the drywall had basically disintegrated.

    That’s why I had all of the drywall in that bathroom replaced with cement board.

      Which is what is it is supposed to be, cement board, hopefully with a sealant on the wall before you put the cement board on but either way, then tile over top. Or cheap linoleum bullshit. It is really expensive to have it done.

        Yeah, the tile guys quoted me on re-tiling the rest of the house, and it was like 1/3 the price of a bathroom. That’s because a crew can knock out a house in very little time, while many bathrooms can only realistically have one guy working on it.
