Then again, as my coworker is fond of saying, "if you can't afford to do it right, how are you going to afford to do it over?" 
Is there any way to tell if I have mold resitant drywall? The spot above the tub where the ceiling started to peal off doesn't appear moldy, but I dunno if it's something you can tell by just looking at it.. |
Why would you need to remove the tub? Every single tub I have put in goes in before the rock against the studs. It doesn't matter if it is new work or a remodel. What kind of tub is it? Cast? Fiberglass? Tile walls? Surround?
I've done plenty of bath room remodels without taking the tub out.
