Yep. I see there is no easy outs. I got an idea from reading. Cover
just the top part with solid insulation. Thats the coldest part, and
still lets the wall air our. It would be best to leave some sort of
venting if your going to put up drywall, and they say paperless drywall
is best for mold reduction. Now what to do about the floor !! Some of
the radon treatments may be good.
