[Shop-talk] Wall Tile Removal

[Scott]

Mine wasn't tile over mortar and lath, so I don't know if it's worse or 
not. I just opened a window and put a fan it it, and wore a mask. I'm 
about to do it again, so I'll pay more attention this time to see how 
bad it really is.

A 5-pound sledge was my go-to tool. Just have at it.
