Greetings Phil,

You ask two questions.

Would laying some insulation in the crawl... help ?
along the sides - from foundation to where the floor meets the sides
under the floor - between the joists

Yes. More insulation always helps. I would start between the joists.

If so - what kind of insulation and what kind of facing -

Use craft faced batts. Use the highest R value that will fit. You can
staple it up with a staple gun or they have metal wire about the
thickness of a coathanger that will "bow" between the joists using
tension to hold up the insulation.

If you really want to go crazy you
could also screw up some foamboard insulation but I wouldn't. Also
insulate air ducts and pipe in the crawl space. Do this before
installing the batts for easy access.


tnx for any comments - Phil -

Hope this helps,
William


Use the wire thingys. It's way easier and faster. Also, you can glue
beadboard
to the concrete walls to assist with insulating. Additionally, cover the
floor of
the crawlspace with 6mil poly to cover the dampness issue.
