@v39g2000pro.googlegroups.com:

My daughter was taking a shower and part of the tile wall fell down.
Underneath there is drywall and it is wet and rotted. The studs are
also rotted.
I plan to rip it all out replace the rotted studs, cover with moisture
barrier, cement board and retile.
Is there a good description / tutorial on replacing studs? I wonder
why builders are allowed to construct bathrooms like this, you would
think it should be against the building code.

Thanks

and retile.

2) It was caused by.....

If you don't know #2 as to why, your number 3 will become number 1.

Hey, there's a pun there...#2...****...you don't know **** as to why
