I am not going to cover it. My plan was to just extend the studs so that
I can install single rows of R-30. There is 2" fiberglass between the
studs now, but I am going to remove it. The old insulation has cardboard
stapled over it. A lot of it is falling down and looks as if it has
absorbed moisture. I am in Rhode Island.

Thanks

That would help. But what do you plan to do after, cover it. Also
where do you live. If you are in a colder area you might want to
conside staggering the second row of 2 X 4's and over lap the
insulation.
