Hi all.
I have heard a lot of conflicting info on insulating a finished basement. I am using steel studs with poured concrete and no water problems. When using faced fiberglass insulation, should I also use visqueen? If so, does it go on the inside or outside of the wall? Or does the visqueen serve the same purpose of the paper facing on the insulation?

If you have no water or mositure issues I'd just stick with foil faced insulation or even craft faced. I've heard at my lumber yard that they may faze out the foil as they believe it doesnt do anything more then the craft paper. Who knows? Maybe if anything paint some waterproofing on the walls before you frame to be extra safe.
A trick I came up with if youre interested is to use metal plates on the floor and top plate and wood studs between. Goes pretty fast.
Be a wall

You don’t complete your inner work before you do your outer work. Nor do you say, "Well, the hell with the inner work: I’ll go do the outer work because it’s so important and pressing." That’s not conscious either. The conscious thing is the simultaneous doing of both. "Ram Dass"
