It's best to have it finish ready down to slightly below the top of the surround. Your surround sets on top of a tub doesn't it? Typically there is only about a foot or so of wall exposed above the surround with 8' ceilings

I'm tackling the deck issue so this bath project has been delayed at the moment, my helpers leave soon
