You'll be more thorough about getting the mold out than someone who doesn't live there. What a PIA job.

This thread is absolutely great.
We're planning a remod of our master bath this spring; thinking about putting in a steam shower where the soaking tub is now. So we'd need to tile the ceiling in the new shower, and seal the whole thing in. And I'd like to use greenboard everywhere else. Does that make sense?

This is gonna be fun.

Chris: On the back wall where the pvc pipe is, I see a problem.The studs are not flush with the wall. How are you going to fit the cement board flush with the wall?
Measure twice and cut once, before cutting any material. You do not want buy it twice.

plthijinx · 03-04-2010, 05:32 PM

Solution to your problem. One way is to rip a half inch from a 2 by 4 an glue it to the existing studs. The second idea is to rip the studs out and start over again. The first suggestion is a lot easier. your choice.

plthijinx · 03-04-2010, 05:41 PM

that was my roommate...make sure that your studs are flush with the floorplates before installing the paneling. he says to rip it out and do it again but make sure all studs line up with the existing studs and floor plates

plthijinx · 03-04-2010, 05:46 PM

if you try to install the cement board then it will not fit flush to the floor which will encumber your shower pan and tile installation. you can get away with it but do it right to begin with.....measure twice cut once.....
