Haha, standard vapor barrier is basically thick sheets of 6 mil plastic. Saran wrap wouldn't cut it. This is something really really important... if there isn't a solution you will destroy your insulation (as MJN says below) and have mold, mildew and moisture problems in the house. Hope this is being considered. --[[User:Evan Bell|Evan Bell]] 22:25, 14 September 2011 (CEST)
