I am sorry for posting a floor question in the basement forum, but I couldn't see anywhere else to post this. Last summer, we moved into, and getting ready to close on a modular home. We had to jack the house up to pour a permanent foundation, but once we got it settled back down, all the floors where sqeaky. We even went back under with a laser level, and string lines, trying to level the house as best we could, but I swear the sqeaks got worse. Is there anyone who might have a suggestion for us? I am not sure if I will be able to live in the house with sqeaky floors for 10 yrs or more. Help!! Casey

First, I live in SE Michigan and live in a 2 year old house. I am planning on building 2x4 framing my for poured basement walls above an existing subfloor build using Delta-FL and 5/8 osb sheeting. You can see the Delta product here if you've never heard of it: [url]http://www.deltams.com/deltafl/index.html[/url] Anyhow, I have a 1/4 to 1/2 inch gap between the floor and the outside walls for ventilation and am curious about using a moisture barrier between the framing and the concrete. I'm planning on leaving an inch or so between the studs and the wall. Should I attach a moisture barrier to the concrete wall (at ground level) to around the bottom of the wall or can I staple the plastic to the backside of the stud wall (not all the way to the top) before putting it in place? My goals are to keep the fiberglass batting away from the concrete as well as keep a continous gap from the edge of the floor to the cieling. More or less my basement will become a "box within a box" with an air gap surrounding the floor and walls. Does that make sense??? Thanks!
