I've framed my basement and now need to add insulation.
I've read one book that says to put up fiberglass batts and then install a plastic vapor barrier. I'm told by other sources that this method encourages mold and is no longer the preferred method.
Another book I have says the "new method" is to put up foam insulation panels right up against the concrete walls, and then put up the studs in front of it. Well, since I've already framed, it's too late for this.
What would you guys recommend I do now? It's so confusing to know who is right.
