Hi

I was told it can't be done but can't find anymore info

Let me explain and show

We Hired a friend:D to tile the bath/shower area he didn't take the Tile to the end.

He left it like this,it looks well different,I want to finish it

I was thinking of using my Oscillating tool with a scraper attachment and get behind that row of tiles.

I was also thinking of using a Dremel with a cut off wheel and just remove the lip.

I can fit a full 8x13 tile,so I would like to remove the whole row if I can but not damage the tile backer board.

The tiles were layed about 1 week ago,Mapie Ultralite thinset

There won't be any info on that type of situation.

If this job was for yourself, then why didn't you stop the tiler right away?

There's no turning back once you start to pry those tile off. You may end up with more work than you anticipated.

I would try to make a narrow border tile from the same tile or make the border from a complimentary colored tile.
