[QUOTE="Obi-Wan, post: 77108, member: 709"] You definitely need a vapor barrier but my option is that Kraft face insulation is a bad idea # 1 you can't see how well the insulation was installed especially the corners. # 2 the paper ( which is what the kraft face is ) tears easily and along with the ends gives you a very pour vapor barrier. A layer of 4 mil poly, tape, and caulk will give you a good vapor barrier with minimal cost. I am not a fan of mixing foam and fiberglass insulation as stated before you could end up with a double vaporer which could trap moisture in the wall cavity [/QUOTE]
