That way I can get foam board down before I put the 2×4 baseboard down, or do I want that 2×4 to be on the concrete floor.

The idea is to seal the top with tape and/or spray foam.

I was wondering what to put directly on the concrete walls if drain tile was installed in the interior and dimpleboard was was run about one foot up the basement wall. This would would obviously cause the foam board to be away from the wall or do I just rest it on the dimpleboard? Also, what stops the vapor from traveling up the wall and entering the ceiling joists. Thank you

Many people do. One reason to consider it, because it helps keep water away from the foundation wall. It’s a good first line of defense.

Thanks so much for your helpful information.
