@infiniti2015 awesome! Glad it helped you out.

Well done! As one who has been down this road, planning is everything. Might take longer for the savings and pride in the work is priceless. This will look fantastic once finished.

There is a video that shows you how to make an overlapping seam in your insulation where you wouldn't need to even fill seams. Because there would be none. Similar to installing hardwood floors.

@drdecker1 I honestly wouldn't think there would be a big benefit. At least in a newer house and an all below grade basement. Because I will also be doing R15 insulation between the 2x4 framing, so it'll be super insulated.

@@drdecker1 I hear ya, but the foam boards basically have no gap. Idk, I'd have to see the process you're talking about, but I don't think there would be a "real" advantage. Only an implied advantage. I am not going to save another $10 on my heating bill, and a fully below grade basement won't be drafty.

Can't wait to see it all finished!

Dang i do a ton of diy and it legit never occurred to me to format Excel squares into square foot blocks. Thanks for pointing that out in your video, I'll def be using that tip now

It's great. I have used it before to provide an engineering drawing for a part I needed made and given the excel file to an actual engineer to put into CAD. He said it was a really cool way for anyone who doesn't know CAD to speak their language.

It’s looking so good!!! I’m seriously impressed!! ❤

Thanks for the video. I'm working on the same project now. Is there a reason you got the NGX Foamular 150 instead of the regular Foamular 150?

@christopherwill4441 nice! The NGX is just the next Gen version (and believe better for the environment). And to be honest it's all my local hardware store sold also.

Are you going to insulate/air seal your rim joist? Or are they already done? I used rigid and spray foam to seal them up. Many videos on how to do this.

@ryanscottlifts

When they built the house, the rim joists were already sealed up and there is insulation up there, to code. I watched the same videos but determined I should be all set!

In my area code does not allow styrofoam exposed insulation.

Doesnt the foam board act as a vapor barrier as well?

Better used some PU-foam glue to glue those iso panels to concrete, works faster and glues better

Yes, you need it. It acts as a vapor barrier as well. So, beyond just a bit of insulation. I'll also put fiberglass insulation between the 2x4s once electric is ran. You don't want your unpressure treated 2x4s flush against the concrete foundation walls.

He's referring to putting foam board on the outer walls and back filling them in. It literally doesn't matter how you do it, it all works the same (as long as you have the black tar coating on the outer walls in all underground areas). I am also going to be gluing the foam board to my inner basement walls 👍👍
