Am I Missing Anything? Any Advice?

I’m trying to finish my basement in MN. I have cinder block walls with a poured floor. - first layer will be 2” solid R-10 with foil tape on all seams. - no adhesive since the studs will hold them in place. - second layer is framing with green treated on bottom and r-7 (faced?) in-between. - 3/4” gap between framing and joists to allow for shimming/adjustment. - framing secured to concrete with a powder actuated nailer and 3” nails w/ washers. - pneumatic 2-3/8” nails for all framing. - was told no need for a vapor barrier since I’m using 2” solid foam. - then electrical, plumbing, and sheetrock before finishing. Anything crucial I’m missing? Any tips or suggestions? submitted by /u/DamHawk [link] [comments]
