    Basement remodel begins this week, any feedback will be greatly appreciated

    I kinda hijacked an older thread so I thought I would start a new one with more specifics on my basement remodeling. I rehabbed this 1950's ranch about four years ago in lovely Tyngsboro Ma, gutted it down to the studs and rebuilt everything, including a side foundation wall and basement...

    Subfloor in basement which is correct

    I like the idea of keeping the floor as warm a possible cause this will probably be the place I spend the most time when home. Should I skip the insulation completely and go radiant?

    Subfloor in basement which is correct

    I have 82" from the concrete to the lowest point of the hvac duct work and I plan on doing thin wood panels for the ceiling not a drop ceiling so I figured I could butt the panels right up to the ducts, this should leave about 78" total head room. That should be sufficient I think.

    Subfloor in basement which is correct

    I used to have a humidity issue with a small rain issue until I did the foundation grading, gutters and de humidifier inline with my hvac system. 2 years have past and no moisture issues but I like to be over prepared so... Would 6mm poly and 2" xps be way over kill for the floor?
