bath tub surround

I tore down the old tile surround and am going to do a solid surround for ease of mantinence. Do I need to put up a poly vapor barrier on the studs before intalling greenboard?

Bathroom Exhaust Fan Cover

Hello, I am redoing my 1/2 bath that was originally built in 1983. The exhaust fan cover is very dated, but the motor and enclosure work flawlessly. Is it possible to purchase a new light/cover or do I have to purchase a whole new unit?

mildew/mold on walls

hi, my bathroom is small and doesn't have an exhaust fan, so over time mildew has collected on the walls and ceiling. i'm starting preparations for my bathroom renovation, where I'll be tearing out the plaster walls & celing. i want to be prepared if i tear out the plaster and find the mildew has made its way thorough the plaster and onto the studs and ceiling joists. i have 2 main questions: 1. is this likely? 2. if it did happen, what should i do to get rid of it? thanks in advance for the help!
