I am winterizing a 50 yr old cabin that us built on ~ 16 piers and would appreciate ideas on best wall/ceiling insulation and skirting methods .

The cabin had simple horizontal siding attached to the exterior of the studs. There is no plywood or other in between. I’m concerned about trapping moisture in the walls once a Vapor barrier and internal paneling is applied .

Re skirting , I’m leaning towards framing between the exposed piers leaving 2-3” open above the ground to plug with compressible foam. Is that enough to allow for frost heaving to not damage the frames? Any other ideas

Thank you!
