A wall is a structure and a surface that defines an area; carries a load; provides security, shelter, or soundproofing; or, is decorative. There are many kinds of walls, including:
Walls in buildings that form a fundamental part of the superstructure or separate interior rooms, sometimes for fire safety
Glass walls (a wall in which the primary structure is made of glass; does not include openings within walls that have glass coverings: these are windows)
Border barriers between countries
Brick walls
Defensive walls in fortifications
Permanent, solid fences
Retaining walls, which hold back dirt, stone, water, or noise sound
Stone walls
Walls that protect from oceans (seawalls) or rivers (levees)

Tub position vs wall
The lip of this tub is a bit beyond the wallboard, but there's no way to fix it without relocating the tub or redoing an entire wall of the bathroom This wallboard is in line with the rest of the wall. Is there any other fix? The gap is about 6 mm.- eric lander
