This can't be real, but tile on greenboard in a tub surround = hack.


Maybe, if you'd relax, and listen to what people are trying to tell
you,
you'd "get it." Or RTFM and DAGS.

Greenboard is moisture _resistant_, a little more so than std
sheetrock.
Not suitable for regular wetting, as happens behind shower tiles.

Cement board can withstand regular wetting, though there really should
be a moisture-barrier, too.
