Yeah, cellulose was a good call—especially if you've got venting quirks. Foam's airtightness can sometimes backfire if moisture sneaks in. I've seen attics where foam trapped humidity, causing mold headaches down the road... definitely something to keep an eye on.

Good point about foam insulation. When we built our place last year, I almost went with spray foam because everyone kept saying how efficient it was. But after reading some horror stories about moisture issues, I chickened out and went with cellulose instead. Glad I did—haven't had any humidity or mold problems yet (knock on wood).
Still, dealing with that itchy pink fiberglass stuff is no joke... spent a weekend pulling it out of my parents' attic once, and even with protective gear, I was scratching for days afterward. Hang in there, sounds like you're on the right track switching to cellulose.
Yeah, fiberglass is definitely a pain—I remember helping my brother redo his attic insulation a couple summers ago. Even with masks and gloves, we ended up itchy and miserable. Cellulose seems like the smarter move overall... less hassle and fewer moisture worries.
Fiberglass is itchy as heck, no argument there, but cellulose isn't always the golden ticket either. Helped a buddy install cellulose in his attic last year—budget-friendly, sure, but man, the dust was insane. Even with masks, we were coughing for days afterward. Plus, if you don't prep right or your attic isn't ventilated properly, cellulose can settle and lose R-value over time. Just saying, might be worth weighing all the pros and cons before diving in...
Yeah, cellulose dust is no joke. Helped my brother blow some in last summer—felt like we were breathing shredded newspaper for days. Fiberglass sucks, but honestly, every insulation has its quirks. Pick your poison, I guess...
