I am finishing up my basement reno job and have all my outside walls insulated an vapour barriered. I am now wondering whatto do with my fireplace/chimnet foundation. This is located in the center of the basement and not on an outside wall. Should I insulate this area and vapour barrier it as well. or just put the gyproc up without insulation and VB? Since it is in the middle of the basement I am not sure if there is moisture or not.
The basement will be heated with oil hot water/cast iron rads in case this info is neeeded.
Please advise as to what the proper procedure is.
