    Unfortunately, Plan B Contractors can also, and often do, result in an aborted project due to the prohibition of the tile/thinset combo sticking to the backing wall.

    Any argument against that must then either redefine the reality of constructionology (i.e., what the tile/thinset combo is, singly or collectively considered), or must recognize it as a separate entity from wallness. With that argument, one could put a hammer through a single tile-in-place and technically not punch a hole in the "wall".

    A tile without thinset simply falls from the backing, no problem; thinset without tile simply hardens in a white mess (though this gets into other areas of constructional ethics). Together, they form the beginnings of a wall, and substantially are a wall, even if not accidentally a full wall in its various stages of construction.

    Depending on the county, a permit for a remove and replace may not be granted amd the home owner must keep the wall.

    If there's no takers (we're sitting well stocked) your local food bank might be interested.
    OR throw them at any neighbors you might not like
