The quality of your workmanship says a lot about you. So, when deciding if you should waterproof your shower before tiling, the answer is emphatically YES! But how can you do that if all the products you are using only "resist" water? Hardie board, green board, water-resistant grout sealer, ceramic tile and even mortar will only "resist" water.
This means, over time water WILL seep down to your sub-floor/ frame causing it to rot.
