Need to replace one-piece fiberglass shower/tub unit

[Jeff H Young]

looks like the space for the tub might still need furring to allow the wall covering to lay flat

Are you going to take a photo of the artwork before closing the wall?

I hadn't thought about that but I think I will. I also am thinking of leaving a message in a bottle inside the wall.

Yeah. I will have to shim more and adjust when I dry fit the cement board. Today I put on 2 coats of mapei aquadefense on the edges of the bottom back wall cement board piece.
Some of my tape slipped so I will have to put it back in place. I still have one more edge to coat once it is completely dry and I am able to flip it over.

I might need to get help. I had a very hard time getting the board into the tub by myself as my left arm is giving me trouble. I still don't have full mobility back (Its very possible I might never regain it) and the muscles keep knotting up and not wanting to cooperate with moving and lifting.

I almost hurt myself just trying to get the lid off the aquadefense. LOL.

I've decided to split this and have the remainder of this thread be for the bathroom with the ugly green tub and my new thread is for the renovation on the adjacent bathroom. https://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/my-ensuite-renovation-wip.104493/
