What happens here

This project demonstrates the process of sealing exterior gaps on a building, specifically focusing on the area between a garage door jamb and the concrete foundation. The goal is to prevent air and pest infiltration using a high-adhesion, clear-drying sealant applied with a caulking gun. Although shown in a general building context, the principles of sealing and the tools/materials are directly applicable to weatherproofing and pest-proofing electrical penetrations and enclosures.
