Hi everyone,
I am getting ready to notch a log wall to attach the walls of a frame addition. I will make the notch large enough to slide plywood, foam, 2×6’s and all that into it. My wuestion is what is the best way to seal this wall to the other. Of course logs move (though it is 3-sided logs and 7 yrs old so not much). A friend suggested cramming vapor barrier into it. I though a bunch of TREMCO on the back of the 2×6 then I could just seal additional vapor barrier to the inside face of the 2×6. This is in Alaska so vapor barrier is very important.
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had a better idea.
Thanks in advance.
Brian
