Opposite wall out of the question, its an attached house. I have tools,
but I do not know if I have "ALL" of them..how do I find out about all
the tools? Also, my tiles are the square white common tiles and all I
think I need to remove are the 6 around those faucets. Does anyone know
of a web site where they actually show how to perform this? Thanks

Problem is, you have no way of knowing what piping is behind that
tiled wall. How you make connections depends entirely on this.
But I can pretty much assure you that many more tiles than you
imagine will have to be removed. Add to that the fact that
tiled walls often are deteriorating, meaning that removing some
tiles will cause other surrounding ones to fail.

My off hand guess, from having been involved in many of these,
is that the final project will wind up being major, will be
expensive and, unless great care is atken, will look like s**t.
