locating holes in backerboard
|
|
|
| I am tearing down the walls around my bathtub because of water damage to the
drywall underneath the tiles. I am installing backerboard (Dura-rock) all
around and then re-tiling. My question is, what is the easiest and best way
to locate the holes in the backerboard for the 2 faucets, 1 spout, 1
diverter and one showerhead? Also can I use ordinary drywall mud on the new
seams of the backerboard?
Thanks.
