I have personally had spray foam thoughout the basement in my home and I keep only 2 vents open during the winter(out of the 8 installed) as it actually gets too warm in the basement. Just my opinion.

Builders are famous for not doing a good job with basement vapour barrier and sealing the rim joist ... Bryan ... a couple of questions if I may ...
Is your spray foam rim to slab or just half way like the builders do the bats
Did you frame first
Did you do it yourself?
