Re: Wine Cellar Insulation & Vapor Barrier

Thanks Steve, I just didn't follow it correctly. Sounds good and it's
cheap insurance.

Hi Joe:

I think it's draped and stapled inside the bay, installed from the
living space. So the studs aren't covered on the exterior facing
edge.

Ken,
Is this wall above ground? If the exterior is OSB I'm assuming it is.
I'm not sure how this wall will breath with a vapor barrier on the
outside and foiled faced insulation on the inside unless there is an
area in between that I dont follow. What area of the country are you
in?

Thanks, Steve. I had the contractor come back and replace the FSK in
the exterior-facing wall with the 6 mil poly, so I should be good to
go. Thanks much for your advice, much appreciated.

Best,
