Default Installing foil backed insullation board. Options (Continued ...)

My final plan is to use 2" Owens Pink, then wood studded walls with
un-
faced fiberglass and a wood planking as the wall surface. (all that
sound OK?)
I looked up the building regs from the city and they recommend an
outlet every 6' along the wall.(that sounds like a lot). It did not
mention GFI, but I would install them anyway.

Is the difference between 2" and 1" really going to be noticed ?


Do I need to be concerned what type of floor covering I should be
using right now ? or just wait until the walls are finished and then
look at something like berber (glued) ?



An outlet every 6' is a lot. Generally speaking, to be code compliant they
should only be 12' apart although it is a good idea to go a little less.
You might want to confirm with the electrical inspector before you start.
GFI's are usually not required in the finished portion of the basement, but
every unfinished part must have at least one GFI receptacle.
