I laid the typical 6mil vapour barrier on the floor of my crawlspace. There were no vents in the space, but if there were I would have blocked them off. I stapled the VB to the header as high as I could possible get it, then jambed some insulation batts against the walls. I didn't bother with any adhesive, just a very large overlap of the pieces.
