You go! :) I have this image of you two tearing apart the bathroom to Metallica or something equivalent.

If you can afford it, go for concrete board. It's mildew proof. It's what they are putting in bathrooms nowadays to solve the problem of drywall rotting.

If you have a wood floor, consider putting a drain in the floor. If you seal your bathroom in the future (a task in itself) you can then hose down your bathroom to clean it. Really quick and tidy, and eliminates mildew due to the ease of frequent hyper-thorough cleanings.

Be really careful about ventilation with that mildew resistant paint. I've heard it's extra noxious. (And sometimes the put Febrez in it so you don't smell it.)

I'm getting tired just thinking about all the work you guys have ahead of you. ;)
