I am going to have a floor poured in a newly constructed pole barn. The contractor says he always puts a plastic vapor barrier under the floor to stop ground water from coming up thru the concrete. I asked about putting insulation (extruded polystyrene)under the pour, to insulate between the concrete and the cool earth in summer, to let the concrete warm up a bit so as to reduce the condensation when the warm moist air hits the cold concrete.

I live in upstate NY where the warm moist air is the norm in the summer. What do you guys think of the idea??
