I've recently decided to update small bathroom in my house. So, I've demolished the mortared shower and a floor pan (original floor pan not mortared; however walls were mortared). I am going to follow the steps from a website I found to install a mortared shower pan.

My water supply lines run up from the basement in between the studs of my shower. So, this poses a challenge to installing the 2X10 blocking boards. Is there an easy way to do this without moving the supply lines? I can move the supply lines, but I was wondering is there was an easier way. Also, I think the only way to install the blocking boards is to toenail the blocking board since the studs are already installed. Any other suggestions?
Also, is it required (construction codes...?) to use pressure treated lumber in a shower? I don't think the lumber in the shower currently is so I would have to tear out the exist studs and replace with new.
Pictures attached for your viewing pleasure. Thanks for any suggestions/recommendations.
