Buff,

You got it, exactly!

And that's just about exactly what I thought your assembly would look like. (nice looking work, btw)

One extra comment... I would try to to stuff at least 1/2" backer rod in all the corners, then caulk with OSI's SC-175 caulk.

I'm just afraid that there's not going to be an easy way to get anything in the way of a angle braced framing assembly in there. Which would be the best. If you can do that, then by all means, do. It's just that the space is so tight, I can't see getting enough room to get long screws in there with a driver/bit... e.g. Long screws in a flat 2x4, then nail the second 2x4.

You documenting your build anywhere? Would love to see other pix!
