How to remove tile from plaster in shower walls?

Question

My husband and I took on the project of remodeling/restoring our bathroom. We began ripping out the old tiles to be replaced with subway tiles when we found that the tiles we are ripping down were installed right onto the old plaster walls. We want to tear it all down and install concrete board to adhere the new tile to, but my question is...is there an easier/less messy way of tearing down the tiled plaster wall or is it basically just hack away?

Answer 1

basically hack away. Nothing easier or less messy about it. haha..
