Thank you for the idea. Do you know whether using the spray foam hindered the flow of water? You know, just in case should any end up inside the siding during rain/storm.

Hmm using brass wool is a new concept to me but it sounds easy enough. TY.

You were right. A sheathing appears to be there. Also some noticeable gaps between the foundation and the bottom plate. Next up is to lay a bead. Thanks!.

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. As for the last picture, I could not see (perhaps due to a lack of experience) any sheathing around the bottom plate. Is it possible that there is no sheathing or sheathing that degraded over /the years?
