I am getting a lot of good info from you all...y'all...whatever.

Now, explain the perimeter insulation.  I would like to have the floor ready 
to pour when the truck gets there.  8' X 2' X 2" styrofoam was suggested, but 
try to explain where it goes.  Does it ring the perimeter, laying flat 
underneath the edge of the concrete, touching the cinder block foundation, 
then in 2 ft. all the way 'round?  Wouldn't the weight of the concrete 
compress it?  Does the vapor barrier go on top of it?

TIA, once again,
