On a side note, the description of your project, would seem to indicate that you are also raising the floor (I was under the impression this was required if the room will be used as living space), so the vapor barrier could be implemented in that work. I am not sure if the crack suppression fabric is considered a vapor barrier.
Also, Sumter county revised the building code June 28th, you might want to check and make sure you will be within the new codes.

Hope this helps.
Thanks for the phone number. I did talk to the contractor and he said that as long as we put down a vapor barrier (Ditra) and put flooring on top of it we do not have to raise the floor. I have put in a call to Sumter county just to be sure. We have laminate in the living room but probably won't put that in the Florida room. I'm thinking maybe tile but I want to find out what other types of flooring are available. We just want it to be maintenance free.
