So long story short, I'm in the middle of a bathroom remodel, and a friend says "anyone looking for plumbing, call this guy". I called, and he royally screwed everything up. So much for wanting to take the easy way out and have someone else do my job.
So, after my second surround panel (he measured wrong and cut all my holes 4 inches off) - I got the holes cut, and the panel screwed/glued and its looking good. Start putting the hardware on - the darn valve wasn't set back enough. The "backer plate" for the shower handle hits the valve, and it literally 3/4" away from the wall. Tried pulling the surround back out, but it looks like its stuck pretty good - worried I would ruin it if I tried pulling it off.
Anything I can do? Is there such a thing as a deeper baker? Do I put some super heavy duty weather stripping behind it that's an inch deep and live with it? I do not have access to the back side of the wall - I live in a 4-level split, so where I need to access technically doesn't exist in the house. It's just kind of a void under/between the stairs.
What a pain - totally kicking myself on this one.
