Bathtub secured to drywall
I started removing drywall around our bathtub to renovate the tiling and hit a snag when I found a 2” firewall made of 3 sheets of 1/2” drywall and a sheet of 3/4” opposite the plumbing and 2 sheets of 1/2” drywall along the length of the tub. I was expecting the tub would be secured to the studs, but the drywall runs behind the tub with it secured to the drywall instead. Any suggestions on how to get the remaining drywall removed (it is screwed in behind the tub) so it can be replaced with concrete board? submitted by /u/RepealCocktails [link] [comments]
