(studs should be near edge of tub to accommodate cement board to drywall seam) I used curved shower rods in all my rentals.  

Maybe dig up the outside of this corner and waterproof, then clean up the interior and seal any cracks with hydraulic cement or the like.Thanks! 

Although there was clearly a small crack at the exterior wall where the stucco meets the cement at the ground.Since rains like this are so rare (like, once every 10 years), is there some sort of caulking I could apply to the crack to seal it?

However, there is a soft black material that has been glued to the cement floors and getting it up is proving to be a total nightmare.  

Is it better to grind out all the caulk, repoint and seal it or just apply a thin coat of surface bonding cement to the entire chimney and seal it twice with a drylock masonry sealer?

Need to install cement board for walls and backer board for floor.

A bit of hydraulic cement patched it up correctly and it's doing fine now. 

Little did I know within 5 mos, she would fake disabilities to get $ from the govt, call code enforcement to make it that much harder to evict, and deface and damage the property (We're talking cement in the toilet tank and pickles down the drain type of stuff).

He'd have to demo the sheetrock, put up water proof cement board, and install about 140 sqft of 12x24 tile and frame out 2 stainless steel wall niches.

The Slab Jackers inject "Goo" under the cement to raise it.
