Hi,
I am remodeling my bathroom and had to remove the old cement board around the 3 sides of the tub when removing the old tile.
The tub is the original 1920's iron tub and I am going to get it refinished in-place.
My question is re-installing the cement board on the exterior wall and how to terminate the vapor barrier at the top of the tub.
I cannot get the vapor barrier past the top of the tub and to the floor as I do not have access.
What is the best way to terminate the vapor barrier at the tub?
Attached is a picture of the back of the tub (before I replace the old insulation stud shims)
