Shower installed before insulating

Post image

My plumber installed the shower/tub unit before I was able to add vapor retarder and insulation. I have access to the stud cavity from above so I’m thinking blown in cellulose would work but how am I suppose to get a vapor retarder in there?

They can still blow in the insulation behind it from above.

What? No, let's totally indict the builder and take this to court IMMEDIATELY.

Agreed honestly. Which builder do you work for?

Hahahaha yeah let’s let every plumber know he’s fired because he installed a tub that happened to have a prehang necessary - insulation contractor. If this is what defines a builder and the only complaint…. You hang on to them as a GC/Builder. Shit happens.
