@67CarGuy - I lived in Somerville MA for about 8 months twenty five years ago right out of college. Haven't been back but cant wait to drive back out to MA someday, loved my time out there. Okay how about this - for now, meaning this coming winter, am I okay to just put the Rockwool in (Now...

Thanks again for all the replies. Continued on with the Rockwool installation tonight. Will definitely add the vapor barrier before I get to finished inside walls, but in the meantime this stuff installs nice and easy for my application. Given all the solid advice I figured I should share a few...
