Question: Epoxy Floor Prep

I having the drywall finished in my garage in preparation of new cabinets. So, I spent the whole weekend emptying out the garage for the drywallers.

Since the garage is empty, I think this is my one and only opportunity to epoxy the floors and so I will spent the next couple of weeks preparing for this. I've watched hundreds of YouTube videos and I think I've got a good understanding of the prep work (i.e., clean, clean, clean, degrease, acid etch, grind/sand the surface).

My Question: You can see from my attached photos that I have a "wood" sill in this old house. This wood is always dry and I don't think it is ever getting any water from the outside but I think I should caulk it. I'm wondering if this is a) a good idea, and b) should I caulk this before doing the epoxy coating.

Any advice would be great (unless you suggest replacing the wood with cement - that's not an option for me).

I didn't take any close up photos but I may do that tonight.
