question about wall insulation

Posted by greg on December 11, 2007, 6:43 am

hi,

when constructing the room in my basement, the contractor put mineal wool
(white, not pink) between the wooden studs and then covered with with a vapor
barrier. LATER on he was placing quiet a few pieces of 2x3 (perpendicular to the
studs) - as I needed some for later being able to screw things to the l for my
specific use) but because of that in many places the wool touches the cement of
the wall. Is that a concern or should I take out the wool and cut it out so that
the wood doesnt push it into the wall? (i've read somewhere that it traps
humidity and when touching the cement, it could lead to mold growth) ??

thanks in advance
