   What is the first pic?  Looks like something imbedded in the tile but what?

   Matt, looks like

   Construction adhesive he didn't come back and cut off.

   Nice toilet job though, no?

   Galvanized pipe with fittings.

   Behind that wall we found cast iron bell housing sealed with masking tape.

   here is a few other pics of this bathroom

   Pedestal sink has no P trap.

   30" door barely clears toilet. In the photo it is not fully open.

   Do you see where the light goes to the right of the sink.

   Curious

   >...... cast iron bell housing .......<  I thought those were only on engines -  car, truck, marine - connects engine to transmission. Bell reducer maybe?

   So, short of tearing most or all out and starting over, probably the best solution....... what are you planning to do to this bathroom to "fix" it?

   Looks like construction adhesive --

   If these were 4x4" tiles.  That was my first guess.

   This is why it's important to include a size reference, like a tape measure, in pictures.  Based on the other pictures, now I know they're big tiles, maybe 13x13", with maybe 3/4" galvanized pipe and ells. 

   Because steel expands and contracts a lot more than tile ;-)  you shouldn't grout the pipe to tile joints ;-).  They should be caulked ;-).  And then paint the pipe in the trim color. ;-)
