Hello,
I'm re modeling our bathroom and removed tile for the first time. I have most of the tile removed but I am baffled as to what to do about the thin set and back board that was beneath it. The cement board is crumbling a way in places, and the thin set is stuck to it pretty good. If I try to remove more of the thin set I fear that it will just cause the rest of the cement board to crumble away. I found a few nails and started removing them near where the threshold was but the cement board doesn't seem like it will come up easily. What's the best thing to do here?
Thanks for any help.
