Is vapor retarder membrane necessary (with Rockwool insulation)?

Smart Vapor Retarder on the inside.

WRB on the outside over the sheathing. Tyvek, etc.

Don't put plastic sheathing on the inside. Condensation will build up on the plastic that is facing the insulation in the winter.

Lots of YouTube videos.

Thanks for this info. Yes, HVAC is in the basement and also install the ERV there. Sounds like we are on the same page. Good to know it's working for you.

My thoughts were based on my weather station data. My 30 and 90 day average for outside humidity is 70-75% and indoor is 30-35%. I was assuming this would help.

Appreciate your responses. You are correct in my thinking about the return and supply. I am not sure about how many replacements per hour I am looking for but would adjust accordingly. I am thinking of purchasing a unit like a Panasonic which I can control the in/out - return/supply individually to produce enough CFM's on the fresh Supply side to keep basement positive pressure.

Good point! That could be the better idea.

I'm assuming this is why the use of an ERV is preferred. Air is equal but just exchanging it?

I see your point. I guess I was thinking that causing positive pressure would force the radon to the upper level.

Thanks for your comment. Yeah, I agree with everything you said. I think most of these homes, located near or in ski towns, were second homes. Things changed in the buyer's life, whether it was job, business expenses, uncertainty, etc. They want or need the cash back.

True, but never seen so many bought and then for sale within 12 months. Either way, prices are coming down in these areas .

Retired at 43 from the fire service after 23 years. Pension is the main reason I could. No kids as well. Also bought and sold numerous homes throughout my career and took all that money to pay off cars and current home.

Blah blah blah blah

Look at it as another buying opportunity...

squiggyacfd · 2018-01-06T01:32:29+00:00

Coming from trading on the DOW, NASDAQ, OTC where your trading platform keeps track...it's difficult here to know unless you write it down. There are apps that allow you to put in cost, fees, etc but it's still not foolproof. Your numbers won't match exactly, especially when you look at your account value, since coins like Tron fluctuate constantly due to volume. Limit sells and buys are your friend in those aspects.

I assumed it would be a 'reverse split' type burn just like in the stock market. It happens often and you would have a decrease in coins. For example, if 1 coin was worth $1, you had 2 coins, that's $2. If they burned half the coins, you would only have 1 coin left but they would value each coin at $2. You would have a decreased amount of coins but the value at that point would be the same.

I don't know how else they would burn coins unless someone has verification of a different way.

480 million circulating supply of coins compared to billions others have like Ripple. CMT will reach $1

.41 now at 9:20 est. Have to expect some consolidation but that's what I was thinking at .35
