Is this considered a frame-off restoration?

So it's been a low priority, slow job but the shower is done. Ripped up the tile floor in the bathroom today. Not fun hauling all that crap from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor then down to the family room then outside.



Backside of shower. Some dumb ass, I won't mention any names but his initials are "Hank", didn't think things through. The sheetrock, metal lathe, mortar and tile removed were a lot thicker than the cement board, thin set mortar and tile that replaced it. That left the faucet sticking out too far for the trim kit to fit. Had to open the wall and block the valve assembly to pull it in.



To be continued...
