Question:

I've built a home using insulated concrete forms. Can you tell me what the requirement is to install an electrical outlet (i.e. a plug) on the exterior wall? The styrofoam is 2 and half inches thick . I've simple cut out the styrofoam and put vapor barrier between the concrete and the box. However, there still seems to be an unusually high amount of condensation in the box . Am I missing something ?

Answer:

These structures are quite new on the market and because some are manufactured one way and others another, you have to follow the instructions that come with them from the manufacturer. They have to have a web site and that should tell you all about it.
