Hey everyone,
My first post! I just ripped out my old tub and I'm putting in a soaker tub soon.

My questions are:
Should I use Hardie board or cement board?
Put green drywall up-- then cement board and tape seams then tile?

I tend to over do things in fear of mold or water ingress so any help would be appreciated!
(Sorry the pic stinks I snapped one last week real quick)

If if you want to go crazy then tank it. Or just use cement board and tile it
