Hey y'all,

First post!

I saw on a DIY program recently that they were using plastic sheathing and if this is a new installation you would install all your boxes, install wiring, insulate (walls) lay sheathing. Cut the sheathing and tape the sheathing into the box. Hang drywall finish, electrical trim and done. If this is not new sorry.

If this is an existing installation why not use low expanding foam?
