@@ryanscottliftsDont listen to that guy. I actually wished the first 30 minutes had more detail. I hate how-to videos that assume that someone knows all the little important details. It’s the details that the videos don’t mention that mess up a project.

The more builders try to charge like that the more of the general public is going to see there’s a few small tricks & skills involved in framing and NOTHING ELSE. It’s stupidly simple, impossible to fuck up if you care about doing a good job and watching what others do. Good on you for taking it upon yourself and dip your toes in a new skill.

1 huge mistake, the wall insulation should be on the outside, so the thermal mass of the concrete is inside, which would have moderated the temperature greatly. Your way has the concrete as cold as the soil. when the warm, humidified air reaches the cold concrete moisture WILL form. a vapor barrier will only make it worse.

Well the house and the basement was built to code so...

@imnewtothistuff 2 ай бұрын

@ryanscottlifts Code dont mean Jack if it's wrong or not followed. That's why there are inspections. If you paid to have it insulated during construction, they would have put rigid foam on the outside. I have seen countless vids of new construction inspections with major, dumb mistakes, and outright stupidity, but YOU installed the insulation? I bought used, with a fully remodeled basement. All the drywall at the floor level was moist. Behind the drywall, stud wall, fiberglass, and vapor barrier, the concrete was dripping wet. It's your house, do what you want. I'm not dissing you, just trying to warn you.

@imnewtothistuff yea I am not arguing, but I have never seen a home with outside insulation on the below grade concrete foundation. And I have watched a ton of homes get built. But I will research it.

@ryanscottlifts I live in Illinois. It's common practice, but its an upcharge so many wait till later and inside it goes! it also makes sense thermodynamicly. Happy framing!

@@ryanscottlifts I am in Michigan and just had a house built and they had the exterior poured basement wall waterproofed and foam board placed. It was standard with their build but i did pay extra to have foamboard placed on the basement floor before the concrete was poured.
