We never saw active termites and a foundation guy I brought in pointed out where a previous termite chemical treatment was likely done so I think the termites were an older problem.

To answer your question: Yes, the vapor retarder will stop most moisture from the ground from destroying your joists and rotting them out.

My research suggests that most Turkey companies buy some junky foreclosure for pennies in a B-(or worse) neighborhood, do a poor quality rehab project(because hey, after all, it only has to look good to the out-of-state buyer, who'll likely never know that the drywall is from China and is spewing fumes, along with the cheap laminate which offgases enough formaldehyde to start your own chemical factory...) and THEN the Turkey co. says, wow- all I have to do is price this over retail and promise easy returns, and some out of state buyer will fall for it.

Well, he didn't notice corroded coils which are leaking chemicals and mold that are extremely obvious even to the untrained eye when peeling the panel off. 

Don't do that utter crap 99% of you all (shame on you) are doing, with these stupid retarded ads like "do you need to sell your house fast?"

The cigarette they are smoking has hundreds of chemicals in it that are not good for the body.
