ALWAYS add a vapor barrier below that pressure treated 2x4 bottom plate. The concrete will always pull in moisture through capillary action. Sill sealer or ice and water guard or zip tape whatever even thick plastic works. Otherwise over the years you will see wicking and eventually water stains. Cheap easy necessary step.

Great video, thanks! Two questions: 1. Can I use treated wood for the whole thing including vertical studs? I have a stone foundation, and the walls breathe and release dampness. 2. When you directly glued the pink insulation, didn't you essentially seal your foundation and now it can't breathe? Won't you now have mold problems and deterioration since moisture will be trapped?
@buildingwithbobby

Treated wood yes that’s fine. And as for the insulation I may have misspoke when I was talking of how it breathed and what not. There shouldn’t be mold problems as I’ve never had an issue come back up. My home is made of 13” concrete blocks and I insulated and framed the whole house with the same principle all around it’s been over ten years and I’ve done a few revamps checking on the walls and have found no issues yet.

Just curious, wouldn't you want to tape of the seems of the foam board to make it a solid vapour barrier? What about the upper portion of the exterior wall, do you not put up plastic or some form of vapour barrier? Thanks
@buildingwithbobby
7 ай бұрын
Well technically I miss spoke about the foam board being a vapor barrier. You could seal the seams with tape to make a complete seal for sure and it would help some. As for the upper part of the wall that part is above grade so it is just like a normal wall framed up with fiberglass insulation and a craft face as a vapor barrier. I hope this helps.

On the wall built over the 1/2 foundation wall with the hard foam insulation on the bottom and the batt on the top. Do you insulate the new wall and add a vapor barrier over that before sheet rocking? Or are you relying on the excising faced insulation for the barrier?
@buildingwithbobby
2 күн бұрын
You can add more insulation if you’d like, but I think it has to be unfaced if you add another vapor barrier it’ll trap moisture in between the layers. I’ve never actually seen that happen or a problem with it but I have heard of that being an issue from various people over the years.

Nice clean job but if you get it inspected there may be an issue with fireblocking. I didn’t see you addressing this critical step.

I did not do any fire blocking no. I always thought fire block was needed when you went from one room to another or from below to above in homes. You seal all the holes and such with fire block foam to prevent the spread. This build other than drywall on the ceiling not sure any fire block was needed.
@Trainman0401

@@buildingwithbobby Fire blocking is definitely required and can add a great deal of extra work in order to comply with recent building codes. However, if you did not file for a permit then your work will never be subject to inspection until you sell your home.
@JF-gl8hh
6 ай бұрын
Likewise, depending upon how strict your building code enforcement is, you have to build a “fire rated assembly”. Just any spray foam for fire blocking will not suffice. And the thickness of the floor matters as well as the type and thickness of drywall. Any joining walls to the ceiling assembly must also account for fire blocking and fire stopping (two different things).

As per "homes on homes show", First build 2x4 wall and leave space between studs and concrete, Then spray foam "closed cell", You will have a vapor barrier & insulation, 100% coverage.

If I remember right I think the knee wall wasn’t flush with the foundation wall. So we would have had to add some framing to even it up before adding the foam. It was already insulated with fiberglass batts so it should be good to go.

Yea some areas settle different than others most basements do drop ceilings to hide all your homes wiring and plumbing also to give access to them. With a drop ceiling you start a fresh level line lower than your lowest stud to hide any differences. Framing a wall in your basement isn’t framing a support wall so it should be fine.

How far away from the insulation do you put your chalk line? I'm about to start a project and have that half-upper wall insulation going around my entire basement. I head it was 5 inches from the concrete, but wanted to know your thoughts. (Our building codes don't specify)
@buildingwithbobby
8 ай бұрын
You really only need a 1/2" from the foundation and insulation. So if you use a 2x4 wall your chalk line should be at least 4" away from the wall. So I'd say anywhere from 4" to 5" is fine. I hope that helps and best of luck with the project!
