Piffin,

Thanks for your reply. You are right, the link was a very valuable source of information.

I'm not sure how to move forward. Should I remove the fiberglass insulation and replace with foam panel board? The studded walls are already in place and nailed down. Should I continue with the paper faced fiberglass insulation without a 6 mil VB? I was told that with the paper-faced fiberglass without a VB, any water vapors would disipate without causing fungal growth.

Again, I don't have a lot of moisture in the basement...it's about 65% right now, and the condensation only happened in a very small portion of the room.

Any thoughts would be helpful, I would rather not rip out the entire job.
