What I usually end up doing is gluing everything together with Tremco (which is an acoustical sealant) with an overlap of about 2' and French seams, running the VB up the wall, gluing it in place and the spray foaming the wall from floor to band joist. It blows. I think if I had a house like this I'd put down poly and pour a slab over it.
