Hello all-knowing folks, I've probably messed up a bit in a hurry. I've poured a slab for an "attefallare" (small house). .wrapped it with plastic and erected 2 interior walls..2*2 at the bottom on the outer edge sits on the plastic. .but for the wooden frames, I didn't have any plastic/sill underneath. Is it necessary if the slab is dry? When / how do you know the slab is sufficiently dry? About 1 year? Let a dehumidifier run for a while?

Why do you have plastic on an insulated concrete slab? Sill for walls is placed with sill paper underneath against the concrete.
I meant that I have covered the outer wall with plastic and framed it with horizontal 45s, and the one at the bottom against the slab has plastic under it... however, I haven't used plastic/sealant under the interior walls that I have now simplified.

There should be syllpapp under all studs, not plastic. You can get a water leak and then the concrete will absorb the moisture like a sponge.
