omahagreg, Your plan with two vapor bariers causes a moisture laiden space filled with insulation that will wick and hold moisture, leading to a disaster in your sub walls. ( much like leaving soup in a thermos for a week) One should first put up 6mil vapor barier against block wall, then 1" styrofoam locking insulation. Then apply furring strips vertically by pre drilling and installing self tapping concrete screws. Then apply mold resistant sheet rock, (green or purple board). Keep the bottoms at least 1" off the concrete to allow air movement in the furing cavity and prevent wicking. Chanches are that the concrete floor does not have a vapor barier under it and it will draw moisture. A wood floor directly applied to concrete in this situation will lead to disapointment. As you stated there are new products that elevate the floor, provide a continuous vapor barier, suitable for wood floors in "water free" spaces. If the floor is questionable my recomendation would be a good direct applied epoxy concrete flooring product. Loren, the Acg.
