Should I take the new insulation down.

I used a backed R-19 to add insulation in the attic to upstairs bedroom walls. The original insulation had a vapor barrier toward the inside...now I have another vapor barrier toward the inside. Is the double vapor barrier a problem? I added R-30 to the ceiling with no vapor barrier.

there wouldn't be any problem with that, however, you should just make sure that the installation of the vapor barriers are correct since it might cause crawl space moisture which is really not good for the house.
