Wow, Christine, from one Christine to another, it will be curious to see what other's say about using fiberglass. I'd think in a moist environment you would want something rigid that wouldn't be susceptible to matting down from the possible moisture. Our library has some "Hometime" videos, and other like materials. If you don't get enough response here, that would be another option. This is something you DON'T want to do wrong. Christine-Mpls
Just had another thought: THIS OLD HOUSE has a site with past shows archived. They're sure to have something there, too.

I asked a guy at Home Depot for some advice and he seemed to know what he was doing but I wanted to check with you good people here.

Does this sound right? I want to be sure I don't have any moisture or condensation behind the backer board. Also I was thinking of using Hardi backer. Is this a good choice or is there some other product that might work better. Hope these weren't stupid questions. lol. Thanks
