I am getting ready to install a metal window well and just wanted to check with the pros before getting started. What should I use to seal the but joint at the foundation if anything? And is there anthing else I should keep in mind during the job?
Thanks in advance!

If its an egress window be sure to have a window well that meets code.
I think 3'x5' space at the bottom. Im not sure where that measurement comes in tho...at sill height maybe.
just use a hilti and shoot a washered nail ( 1' ) with a washer to hold it to the foundation, no seal needed. I usually dig a little deeper and put 4 - 5 " 3/4" stone in the bottom.
No seal, just Tapcons drilled and screwed in.
but you also want to dig down a foot or so deeper than the well bottom and refill with clean 3/4" stone
