As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am about to pour the concrete floor for my basement project. I'll be doing this in sections that match how I would have cut the control joints if I did the whole floor in one shot.
I'm wondering how to do the vapor barrier. I've been reading that even small pinholes should be avoided if possible. If I lay one big sheet of plastic, there will be some parts that will get pretty chewed up by the time I get to pouring concrete on them. On the other hand if I lay the plastic down in sections like the concrete, I'll have a lot of seams to try to seal with tape and I'm doubtful that tape would stand the test of time.
Any thoughts on this? Thanks again.
