I'm told by the builder that when they turn the basement over to me, the walls will be all silver from the moisture barrier in the giant rolls of R10 insulation they are going to have to hang. that doesn't sound very useful to me. I'm either going to have to just take it all down (wasteful of insulation) or frame in a wall in front of it (wasteful of space).
What I would like are wood studs fastened to the concrete with insulation in between.
Any experts in building codes out there that can advise me before I call the city?
