Any idea on how much vapor barrier costs? Cuz as far as I know I'm supposed to use it if I do hardwood floors anwyhere down there.

I'mnot sure what we're doing right now, I have to get up to the house and find out whether I need an ejector or not. I will be finding out over the holidays so I will let you guys know. I'm hoping it already has a lin running underneath so I can just tie into that. I think my hardest project in...

In a basement apartment setup, on the perimeter walls which are concrete, can you just drywall directly over them, or would it be best to make a wall and insulate it? Thanks.

If I'm corrrect, a shower has to have a trap right? If this shower is in a basement, is hte trap just going to be recessed into the concrete floor, then cemented over? And for toilets, do you have to install a trap, or do they somehow have one built in? Thanks in advance.
