The house is 80 eyars old, and it does require some work.
the ffunnniest thing i found is that the heating vent in the bathroom was built in the longest wall of the shower/bathub, at waist level.
there was water going trhu th heating vent, and started damaging the ceiling in the kithce, which is lcoated below the bathroom.
I took down the cement board shower walls and I have raised the heating vent almsot to the ceiling. I bought DensShield, but I have read bad reviews about it. Now I feel I should use CBU or another cement board. What do you think?
Another question I have is, will the cement board get damage with the bathroom mositure where the heating vent is located...I plan to seal it as tight as i can. But I am afraid this probelm can be only solved by moving the heating duct to antoher wall, which would require a huge bathroom renovation, and the room beside it. I would like to avoid this.
