Tile is gone! Good thing we pulled it too (I was briefly considering just adding a cheap plastic backing to get us up to the ceiling) because it was GLUED TO THE DRYWALL.
sigh.
Anyway, it’s gone now, and today if I get off my ass I will be stripping the last of the wallpaper, washing the walls, and starting the skimcoat.
The plan for the area around the shower, then, is to mortar in a waterproof membrane as a new backer for the new tile. You know, waterproof. Like things around showers should be. FFS.

Such a lot of work but you should be proud of your house! Bit by bit it’s becoming a beautiful home.

You never know what you’ll find when remodeling… I did a floor in my small guest bathroom. And underneath the floor we pulled up was… another floor. And then three more layers of other floors. Lol.
