Background: Home built in 1962
Started demolition to the guest bathroom and gutted the tub, tile, and backboard. I would like to know how much of the drywall/cement board should I remove past the tub line?

1You are renovating.... so it is up to you. What is your goal? At this point, pull it all, get new flooring in, greeboard, expand your switch plates, insulate, add vent fans, etc. get it all. And never have to worry about matching drywall to the existing board. – noybman Jun 14 at 2:24

1It doesn't look like it's been repainted a dozen times, so the bathroom was quite possibly renovated much more recently. So, I wouldn't assume lead paint (even back then, cheaper paint actually often did not have lead), but I would test the areas broken paint. As noybman said, what's your goal? If you wanted to have a working half-bath through the renovation, or minimize cost, those are important considerations, too. – Randall Jun 14 at 20:02
