Hi Everyone,
I am remodeling my bathroom and am at the stage where I need to put the cement board up behind my shower. There is some vapor barrier there, but on the interior walls it only goes about half way down the wall. Does anyone have any thoughts on if I need to add more vapor barrier? There used to be drywall behind the shower, I'm not sure if having cement board now changes things?
Also, I am not sure how far down the cement board should go. The drywall that was there previously looked like it was just above the tub line, not touching it. This is one of those shower/tub combos.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated, I am very new to the do-it-yourself world!
