Connecting 2 triangles (or a better method to my madness)

I have an stl of a skull that I need to modify. There are basically 2 modifications that I need to make:

1. Add a flat platform in order to mount a servo.

2. Fill in the area under the platform so that there will not be a need for convoluted support structures when printing.

 

I added a primitive cube for the platform for item #1, but part of the corner extends beyond the outside of the skull. I tried deleting the triangles that extended beyond the outside surface of the skull, but it left some "holes" on the inside that I can't properly fix. I tried the inspector, and it would fix the hole in the platform, but it isn't a continuation of the flat plane on top so it creates a "hole" from the platform to the skull.

Any suggestions on the proper way to fix this?

In regard to #2, I was able to close off the area that I need to be solid, but I can't figure out haw to actually dill in the space.

Are you having issues printing/slicing?

 

You can try a boolean and/or 'make solid'.
