Hi everyone, I'm trying to destroy my house again and this time I figured I'd start with the bathroom. It's really small and I have myself and 6 kids that are all trying to fit into 1 bathroom so I'm trying to get as much space out of it as possible. I I went to Home Depot to have a look around their tubs and saw a display that looked like a half tub/shower. I asked a guy who worked there about it and he said they just sawed a tub in half and put it there to give the appearance of a full bath. I think that would go great in my bathroom and was wanting to see if there was anything like that. Before you mention walk in showers I had to rule those out because I still have toddlers and a baby who need the tub to get washed. Thanks for the help.

I'm going to be using full engineered marble (fake marble) slabs as my shower walls. The company that's making them for me suggests using silicone to adhere them to the substrate. They actually recommended that since there are not grouted areas like there would be with separate tiles and the only potential for water behind them is where I caulk or silicone the joints...to just use greenboard as the substrate. I had decided to use cement board instead just as an added safety net, but the more I've been thinking, I've come to the question: Will the silicone stick to cement board? and furthermore if I decided to take a final precautionary waterproofing step of redguard over the cement board, will silicone stick to redguard? Thanks in advance
