Bought a 1990s build. The retarded boomer who lived here before me finished the basement rather poorly.

I had to rip up the room in picrel as there was a foundation crack under the window that was letting water in. You can see I removed some of the framing and subfloor to investigate.

Now that the crack is dealt with, I want to put this back together in the most sensible way possible, but I've noticed a bunch of issues:

1. Framing bottoms aren't pressure treated. They have poly under them, which I believe is up to code, so it may be fine

2. Subfloor is untreated wood on concrete. Bad

3. The retards that did the insulation put poly both behind (only halfway up the wall) and in front of the insulation. As I understand it, it should be concrete wall, then insulation, then poly, then drywall. These fuckers went concrete, poly, insulation, poly, drywall.

So, I'm not sure what to do about 1, as that would require reframing the whole basement

2 I'm likely going to rip up and install dricore unless convinced otherwise, and 3 will be done if 1 is ending up needing to be fixed.

Fuck me boys, this feels like a lot.

Polish the concrete floor and run it, or tile directly on the concrete substrate.

dont blame the framers for concrete. what i mean is your concrete failed, and compromised your framing. yea, it should be green plate. but look at the condition of the framing that wasnt exposed to water.if you want to be certain ya, reframe the floor members with PT. but they seems to be in great shape as is. put green bottom plate on the window wall, temp your corner and put it under them. also your electricians running wire behind studs, lol. dont blame framing for concrete and that shit home runs they did.

Gets some dricore floor tiles and make a sub-floor from that or tile with in floor heating.
