Hello all. I am new here and need some bathroom help. We just bought a house that was built in the 1950's. When I started taking off the wallpaper(3 layers, Uck!!!) I found out that there is plaster behind all the wallpaper. As the wallpaper starting coming off so did the tile that is pink and goes halfway up the walls. It seems as thou the tile will come off very easily.
So here's my question. I am sure this is not the only one I will have. Can I just remove the pink tile as I do not think it is stable and drywall over the plaster on top. I would like to moderize this bathroom with drywall but want to make sure I am doing it correctly. I thought that I could leave the shower in tack but on further looking I think I will have to replace the plumbing as well as we have no water pressure in the shower. I am going to leave the water pressure plumbing issue to the professionals but I would like to do as much of the other myself to keep costs down.
Is there anything else I need to know about before I tackle this job. Thank you all in advance and I hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend.
