Title: Modular home wall construction corner joint

Abstract: Edge abutting inner and outer frame assemblies carry parallel strips of thermal insulation material within respective vertical and horizontal cavities with the strip seams at right angles to each other to eliminate cold spots. The respective end studs of right angle, end abutting vertical wall assemblies have inner and outer wall frames overlapping to form a stepped end assembly which nests and sandwiches an air barrier strip interposed between abutting end studs. Spaced lag screws or bolts fix end studs of one frame assembly to end studs of the other frame assembly at the stepped end assembly. The outer walls extend beyond the end studs of the outer frames of each wall assembly to form the exterior wall, corner joint, and thermal insulation material strips fill the cavity formed between the outer walls and the end studs of respective wall assemblies.
