Vapor Barrier on for Earthen Floor build up

Psalm 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

Recent Progress as of December 1st, 2013
More earthen Floor Layers


After adding the vapor barrier and taping seams we add a few more inches of crushed limestone

We leave a 2 foot gap for insulation around the edge on floor (it will also go on the foundation wall.)


This is the 16 mil vapor barrier before we added the second layer of limestone powder. This is agricultural lime, which we are using in place of sand because it is a lot cheaper. It acts as a cushion to protect the vapor barrier from puncture by the gravel layer that will come next.

Monica, my wife, is taping the seams.
