Re: Tile over Shower panel

Yes I have. Recently. Go here https://www.mobilehomerepair.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=9472 At the end of the thread is a photo. For your concerns, I screwed the hardibacker board directly to the old tileboard which gave the tile something to adhere to. I used 1/4" backer. Remember to cut...

forum stuff

I'm sure this is somewhere - but cannot find it, so I'll do this the easy way. To the left of each thread there is a little circle with lines in it. I have figured out that if it is red, then there are posts I haven't read. But some have a little star inside, and some show the lines scrolling . . . ...

Re: Bathtub Faucet

I agree with bobfather - open the hot water tank (HWT) breaker, partially drain & disconnect, and pull it out of the way to do it right. It wont take long to pull it & put it back; certainly not as long as monkeying around it

Re: outlets connected right to drywall with wings on screws.

Whenever I can, I cut out the drywall to a stud and put in a regular box and outlet, then re-rock the area. An alternative is to keep what you have, but use pieces of paneling or paint stir-stick behind the drywall for the clips to, well, clip to. Same thing if you install the blue boxes with clips....

I have seen drywall joint compound (mud) used to fill in joints and grooves, but it has a tendency to pop out over time - caulk seems like a messy alternative if you want a smooth joint.

Re: Removed batten strips - now what?

Put half inch Sheetrock right over the paneling (crown staples) and tack the battens over the joints unless you want to mud. Prime, texture as desired, and paint right over battens and all. Looks great, & the rock insulates great.
