Condensation between insulation and vapor barrier

I recently tore down my shower walls and found that the builder used normal drywall for the shower. I put in new insulation due to water damage and a vapor barrier. I had to go back to work and didnt add the go board yet. Well a few days pass and I notice some condensation between the insulation and vapor barrier. It's an exterior wall so I figure the humidity is the culprit. Should I remove the vapor barrier and just put up the go board? This is my first remodel to this extent. I know its 50/50 to use vapor barrier to begin with. submitted by /u/myrees [link] [comments]
