There's a hole in the wall

Repeated attempts to remove the existing tile efficiently and cleanly without damaging the drywall became futile. We should have expected nothing less than the tiles to be adhered directly to the drywall itself.

 

 

With gouges already in place I piped in "why don't we try a hammer - that's what they do on TV?" So a note about using a hammer on tiles

1.      It does make you feel better smacking something
2.      It creates quite a mess
3.      It creates holes in your wall

Hole in wall AND a clean refrigerator!

So our goal of removing the tile quicker did work - however we needed to go back to Lowe's (trip #2)this time to purchase drywall and all the gadgets and stuff that go along with that.

So while my husband is now putting up a brace of wood to adhere a section of the drywall, I sit here and blog and realize I need to do something with our  recently harvested cucumbers (random yes but they were sitting there mocking me on the counter) I may make refrigerator pickles while he tends to drywall.
