If you're installing insulation yourself, remember these guidelines when using a vapor barrier: * Always place the vapor barrier towards the warm side of the insulated area - facing downward on the attic floor or to the interior side of the wall. * When adding a second layer of insulation to an attic, do NOT add a second vapor barrier - this can trap moisture inside the first layer. Use loose-fill or unfaced batts or blankets; if only faced batts are available, cut facing every few inches to allow air to pass through. * If the vapor barrier tears during installation, tape it tightly. * If you have a crawlspace, add polyethylene vapor barrier on the floor of the area to reduce condensation from ground moisture.
yep!

Vapor is another word for moisture. A vapor barrier is a sheet of plastic covering the entire surface under the floor to prevent moisture from causing the floor to warp or absorb stains. You would typically use a vapor barrier in basements with concrete floors.
A vapor barrier is an impenetrable layer that keeps water from seeping through from the ground. It is always advisable to use a vapor barrier regardless of humidity.
A vapor barrier in sidewall insulation is almost always a good idea.
