Use Hardibacker, or equivalent. Sheetrock is not intended to be used in wet

just be a little more careful with the dust. Cutting it outside is good. ;-)

Thanks all for comments. Looks like we have a split decision. If you
were going with either hardibacker or cement board, which one would you
go with?

The tile might end at eye level. Would you only put hardibacker/cement
board behind the tile and have the exposed part as treated drywall anyways?
