For perfect air sealing, moisture control and maximum energy efficiency.  A 10 mil plastic sheet extends from under the lower floor slab (not yet poured). The sheet passes over the footing and under the yet to be constructed wall (rebar shown in place). Outside, the sheet will help seal the foundation wall.
