If there's someone in your area that does sprayed in place foam insulation you might want to look into doing that.

It forms a vapour barrier as it dries so it eliminates that step completely. We used it in several buildings at our place and it seems to work great, it has a very high R-value per inch of material and stops all drafts. Something about it doesn't appeal to critters either, we haven't had any mice or squirrels chew into it that we have found so far.

It's more expensive than regular insulation, but in a small area it doesn't make much difference, besides it's fast and permanent, if you have to replace fiberglass a couple times because it became a Rodent Red Roof Inn, the savings disappear REAL fast.

Best of luck.
