Demo and work started today on my 8 x 13 screen porch enclosure. It's going to be a 2nd office short term (until one of us retires). They will be using fiberglass in the walls and floor, which I am ok with. This is a lower budget build with me doing some of the work. I noticed the company that insulated my GFs fathers new garage used caulk between all the studs/joists/wood on the exterior walls. I was impressed, and doubt I will be getting that unless I pay extra or do it myself.
Is there value to caulking everywhere (exterior) before the drywall goes up? I watched them nail the 2 x 4's to the concrete floor for the exterior walls. Can/Should I add some caulk where the wood meets the concrete? If yes is there a special caulk for this?
Any other caulking/insulating tips and tricks I should do before they close it up?
Thanks
