    Installing 3 Piece Tub And Shower unit
    I ripped out old tub and tile and drywall. Water got in and wall started falling in. I want to buy a 3 Piece Tub And Shower unit. Do I have to put drywall back up? It is one of those units that just stacks.

    Hi John,

    If you are buying a 3 PC. Tub/shower unit then all three pieces should screw directly to the studs and you will only need to patch the wall between the tub surround wall flange and the remaining drywall.
