There are two parts to this.. first, the extra insulation will make it hard to move anything thats not fairly rigid inside the wall. And possibly the ceiling, not sure of that yet. Then there is the corner. 2 feet west, horizontal, turn 90 degrees, then 6 feet down vertical. Hopefully with as few holes as possible.
