The answer is, there shouldn’t be a dirt floor in a crawl space. It should be covered with a polyvinyl vapor barrier.

And the winner is Blaine…
Thank you Blaine, there is a brand new Chrysler Cordoba waiting for you at the front gate.
Blaine also wins the bonus prize, as he correctly identified today's cafeteria entree as "some kind of meat..."

That should make the correct answer 'c' it doesn't matter whether the wood is treated or not.

Joe,
Some kind of meat, Hmmmm, sounds like Spam or Armour potted meat to me. Both are good on crackers! Pressure treated crackers that is.
BTW, How did you know I had a Cordoba?

The correct answer is 18". However, Blaine is also correct in that there shold be a 6 mil polyethylene film installed, but I tell you in an area that is 80% crawlspaces, that aint happening.
A good picture is included on page 62 of the 2000 IRC, Figure #R403.1(3)

Or, how about concrete!
I got it wrong. My first instinct was 18 but I went with 24, BZZZZZZZ! Incorrect.
Does the vapor barrier have to be applied under or above the concrete?

JOE, DIRT FLOOR. It does not say concrete floor, it says DIRT floor.
So the question about the barrier over or under the concrete doesn't apply much does it.

I was razzing about the vapor barrier. We do concrete around here!
