With the rest of the bathroom done it was time to tackle the shower.  The tiles in the shower were layed on bare sheetrock, a big no-no in a wet area.   On the upside this made tearing it out much easier.  The sheetrock was quite damp, and using a crowbar, the tiles easily fell away from it.  I was a bit scared to see what I would find behind the walls of the shower as I had dreams of giant piles of mold and fungus growing back there.   I was happily suprised to see that it wasn’t bad at all.   There were a few spots with some mildew on them, but other than thtat it was fine.
