i wonder if cooling down interior cabin of car will make it less likely to have frost in the morning...?

drinking caffeine in the afternoon = bad for sleeping
greenboard aka backerboard aka drywall sizing may be inconsistent or at least misleading, just like 2x4
apparently greenboard is no longer approved for wet applications like the shower or tub area: "A cement-based product like Wonderboard or Hardibacker is suitable for tile-covered wet applications like showers and tub surrounds."
RECOMMENDED: Use DensShield instead of regular backer board (or use roofing felt #15 and cement backer board) [screwed in to stud, holes and cover over holes with thinset]
Leave 1/16 gap between boards, apply Mesh tape and apply thinset along the gaps
BUTTTTT waterproof tub surround: ppl say don't need waterproofing materials behind. but to be on the safe side, should install moisture barrier and also cement backer board so that there is solid backing to glue the tub surround to
pre-drill the backer board or whatever and use galvanized/stainless steel screw
