How to seal corner of 2 stand up walls - not reachable from the outside
I am building a room in my backyard on a slab a mere 5 1/2" from the block walls on 2 sides. I'm planning on building those 2 walls (15' by 6' and 8' x 6' sloping to 7') on the floor, with Tyvek (or ?) then prefinished siding, then lifting them onto the bolts.
My dilemma is how do I seal that corner? Any recommendations on the unseen siding (vinyl, cement, aluminum, ). Any unforeseen problems here? Thanks in advance. |

Are the corners of the new walls (at the exterior side) going to be flush with the corners of the existing structure? If so... maybe you can add a piece of trim that will overlap the existing wall by a few inches and before you set the new wall in place... apply a generous amount of silicone sealant to the trim so that when you pull the new wall snug with the existing wall, it creates a seal. Also... I would suggest injecting some expanding foam insulation from the inside of the new wall along the edge that abuts the existing wall.
