Did you just paint/roll it on or did you have to have a sprayer?

Backerboard plus tile is not waterproof. A barrier of some kind is still needed. In the old days they used 15 lb. felt or 6 mil poly behind the wall to control water. Nowadays we have various sheet membranes and liquid membranes that are applied on top of the backerboard and just behind the tile to control water.
Are those plastic panels called "FRP"? Same stuff they use on restaurant kitchen walls. Very easy to keep clean.

FRP is the name of the paneling. Fiber Reinforced Paneling. Used in commercial settings, bathrooms and kitchens. Liquid Nails is one of many adhesives you could use.

Personally I'd go with a painted application to water proofing. If your luan and plywood aren't rotted yet paint right over them with anything from deck urethane to apoxy. I'm for deck urethane as it doesn't require a primer. Two coats with disposable brush and rollers and your done. I'd scrub the wood clean first with bleach water though.

I googled FRP and here is the link: http://www.marlite.com/designer-wall-systems-frp-wall-panels.aspx

Yep, that's what they call it and it looks like it's fairly easy to install especially if it can be cut with sheers...
Here's another link to Home Depot with the price: http://www.homedepot.com/Glasliner-FRP/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xg1Z79a/h_d2/Navigation?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053

It looks like it will be similiar in cost to the rubberized truck liner...

Its just like a can of paint. You get it in a gallon paint container, it is really thick and gritty. I used a roller and dumped a bunch on the floor and just spread it out. waited a few hours to dry, and did the same thing over again. Each coat gets thicker, it just depends on how thick you want it. I may go back over it again this year and add another gallon. it was $75 gallon, but i did the entire floor/walls with one gallons and did two coats ($150). It is also nontoxic to the birds. It is scratchproof. If you look at most of the trucks nowdays they have the spray on bed liner (we did four trucks with it and used the paint brush/roller instead of the sprayer. dont know why really, we have a sprayer and it worked just fine.

I am really thrilled with it. I was able to do it myslef, DH got out of doing more labor. It was cheaper for me, as i had used backer board on my walls and didnt want to redo them. The only thing I did NOT like was that I did not coat the walls high enough for ducks. It was great for my chickens, but i would do it at least two feet up with ducks they way they fling stuff.

I'm definitely looking for the easiest most practical application, that's for sure. But honestly, some of the side luan walls just look disgusting/rotted which is why I abandoned the house a few years back. I knew it was going to be a big job to fix it up "right" and I just couldn't deal with it at the time. But now I'm going to get some geese and this 3.5' x 6.0' house is the perfect place to house them so I've got to get off my duff and "get it done RIGHT!".

Whichever solution I go with I think I'll still have to remove those rotted luan walls and put in new thin plywood first then go on with the waterproofing application whether it be the FRP or the painted rubberized etc. Just the thought of climbing into that space and trying to pry the luan off the walls gives me the heebie jeebies! Hmm, maybe I can get DH or DD to do it. Neither one of them minds spiders and rotted wood lol In fact, DD just texted me for $ and offered to help me with animal chores this weekend when she comes home from college. Hmmm, I think I've got the perfect job for her to do to pay for the free cash!!!

Personally, I think painting an application on will be much easier than dealing with cutting panels to fit walls and ceiling (there are several windows and slanted walls UGH! gives me a headache just thinking about it!). But whatever I decide to do I will definitely journalize it here so others can use the info if they need it.
