Basement vapor barrier and floor framing



A continuous vapor barrier is added to our basement foundation, with taping at all seams and penetrations. This barrier will be under the concrete slab of this house.

In addition, we were able to set the steel and floor joists. Notice that all of our floor framing sits inside the concrete ICF wall - eliminating any thermal bridging and/or heat loss that would occur at this typical construction detail.

The OSB floor deck is starting to go on in preparation for arrival of the wall panels next week!
