Heya guys It is a damn nice day out today! Sherm I got a question for ya, whats the best way to insulate to where the floor joists meet the basement header on a house? Im just trying to get things ready for an energy inspection, and thought id ask a few people that may know better then I.
Ive heard you dont want to use pink insulation where the concrete meets the wood, due to condensation possibly becoming a problem...

hey prep, most peeps use 2" styrofoam rigid insulation, cut to fit snug then caulk with acoustical sealant. another way is to get a canister of the spray urethane insulation and fill the cavaties with it.

Thanks man, thats what I was thinking too. I also thought about getting someone to come in and spray it. The spray stuff is supposed to be the best, but its also about 3 times as much cash, and the DIY kits arent cheap either.

Yeah I might end up doing that yet. Either way I gotta figure out something before the winter. I was gonna spray foam around the base of the house to make it air tight, then that rigid stuff.
Im gonna call a few guys and see what they charge for the spray foam yet. Sandi would like to go that route.
