[quote=Anonymous]I'm not a fan of "future-proofing," nothing is harder to predict than the future. The other stuff is just a matter of making sure the job is done right. Sealing, insulation, drainage -- that's all code now. You want everything under the drywall to be brought up to current codes. Ideally, you'll find a knowledgeable person you trust to talk with and go over what's there and what needs to be improved. Even more ideally, they'll be available to inspect the work before the drywall goes back up. This can be kind of a delicate dance, because it may end up being cost-prohibitive to get everything perfect and the building inspector may or may not be your friend. Your interests and the contractor's interests don't align perfectly. What you want is someone who has your best interests at heart. [/quote]
