> Thanks very much Carl for all this information. At some point we will have to

address this with our crawl space. Really appreciate it. It is frustrating that

there seem to be no real standard. Is there a company that makes a 1 rated vapor

barrier that you trust from prior experience with your clients? 

> One other question--- is there ever problems with these vapor barriers

off-gassing into the house above? We had a pitch from a remediation company that

wanted to use one of those crawl space encapsulation set-ups. It stunk like a

bad pool liner smell.

You can go to building science.com click a link on left " Homeowner Resources " .

This is the direct link to " homeowners Resources " if it works.

http://www.buildingscience.com/resources/homeowner_resources

On that page is list of articles. The link I posted was for " New Light In

Crawlspaces " .

Their articles are great. I'm reading up a storm. I still don't know how to

construct a frame ! but am getting well versed on the details of water

management. Just about all their articles address water & the the failures of

the old way of doing it.
