is the proper way to finish basement walls start to finish? I have been a carpenter for twenty years. I can't seem to find a straight answer on the best way to finish basement walls. Iam planning on doing my own basement in increments over the next few years and i want to avoid future problems of moisure and mold.I am going to describe what i was planning and if anybody would comment on it it would be appreciated. My basement walls are poured concrete 10 inches thick no visible dampness has everbeen indicated.i am going to fasten 1 inch foam insulation to those walls with 1inch concrete nails allseams and nail holes will be taped i was then going to build 2x4 walls against the foam and insulate with fiberglass batts followed by drywall. if anybody has comments on this as far as mold and moisture please comment
