Vapor Barrier, Insulation foam board under slab diy Garage build EP 9

Laying down under slab plastic vapor barrier and ridgid foam insulation board to insulate the concrete monolithoc slab. You need a good vapor barrier to keep moisture from coming up through your concrete slab. In a cold climate like mine a good ridgid foam is needed to keep from having a lot of heat loss into the ground. I checked into under slab closed cell spray foam instead of going this route but it was a lot more expensive.

Make sure to have a good laser transit to keep track of your elevations as you go. If you have to rent it a number of times it may be worth just buying one, it was for me. I'm really happy with the accuracy of the one I have and will link it below.

This is a new series on my diy 32 x 56 garage - shop build. I want to show you how to start building a garage or shop from the very start of just having a empty lot. Watch for future videos on this build.
