(User Info)

I have a barn with cellulose blown into the walls. I cut a hole in one wall to put in an overhead garage door. What I found was bridging in 3 of the 4 stud spaces I opened up, The open gaps were 2" 6" and 2'.

I know money matters, but depending on how old the house is and long you want to hang on to it and/or if your thinking of resale value. I'd strip the interior walls and go with the foam that way you can inspect and upgrade the electrical wiring, ect.
