Help W Filling Exterior Wall Hole w Cement
I have tried to find what kind of cement would be best for this project, but I have come up short. I found out that maybe "N cement" is good but I don't know what type. There is way more types of cement than I thought and I am a cement newb. I just need it to flow well behind the wall to cover the back rot that you cannot see well in this pic. My plan is to clear away most of the wood rot, Install a few metal poles, and then board it up, seal the board to the wall with a temporary seal like hot glue, and then do a cement pour from the top. I think this would require 10-15 gallons of cement. This is not a load bearing wall and I mostly am wanting to just insulate and make it look better and prevent any critters from making a home inside. I already got the cement drill bit and several 5 gallon buckets and other tools for this. Any advice is great, but I am just mainly wanting to know what kind of cement would be best for this project? Please let me know if more info is needed and thank you for reading.
