wet insulation

Pull out the insulation. Add in attic vent sticks 1x2 on edge just to help keep insulation away from outer wall and promote air movement.

OSB next to steel is not good.

As said above do not pack the insulation it has to be "FLUFFY" to work best.

If the walls are framed I would also drill a couple of holes in the top plates to allow air to excape.

Neighbors u 2 lakes over.

You will have problems with the osb and steel next to each other. You may be able to mitagate it somewhat.

I think you can minimize the issues by ensuring there is a air gap between the insulation and the osb. Either use thin verticle strips or the thin foam sofit vents used to keep insulation away from roofs blocking air flow. I would also make sure there are holes in the top plate to allow air movement. In addition to that use just 1 vapor barrier next to the warm wall only.

Good Luck I'll also ask a couple of buddies over at Finger Lakes for their thoughts.

I do not think I'd throw it away. What do you have for attic space? Peel the barrier off it and add to attics.

Craigs list also will work.

Also receipts for energy tax credits this year.
