WEST GREY BASEMENT RENOVATION, WIRING, INSULATION, AND NEW BATHROOM ROUGH IN | JCB and SONS

 West Grey Basement Renovation, Wiring, Insulation, and new Bathroom rough in | JCB and SONS.  Winter has given us some time to tackle our own home and renovate our own very poorly finished basement.  We decide to add an additional bathroom.  Adding a

sewage tank and lift pump

in our basement.  This required removing the cement floor and excavating to install ABS drains and the tank.  We also moved our sump pail while we were doing all of this work to a more suitable location.

 We removed all the old drywall which was very poorly done and had some mildew because of the poor vapour barrier and things not being sealed properly

 Here you can see the ice on our walls because of the improper insulation and vapour barrier.

 For this we moved majority of our basement things to the garage, the remainder was moved to the middle for this portion of the job.

 The pink fiberglass insulation in this picture would have provided an R-12 when it was originally installed.  It was in very poor shape, and was even destroyed completely in places because of mice.  You can see all their tunnel in the insulation here.

 Andy Baker came from

Integrated Audio Visual and Event

 Management

to run

Cat 6

Networking cable, and he also installed speaker wire for our home theatre system.

Integrated Audio Visual and Event Management

created a network with a central hub that ties in our office space, our home theatre area, and our living room.  We also ran conduit for any future connections that need to be made.

 Here is a panorama of the finished home theater and network cables  by

.  It was a great time to install all this while the walls were open.

 We had

Martins Insulation

from Tara come to

spray foam

our basement with 3" of foam.  Providing

R-20

for our basement and a continuous vapour barrier.  Creating a very warm and dry basement.

JCB and SONS | NEW 24' x 36' GARAGE FRAMING IN WEST GREY

 JCB & SONS | New Garage Framing in West Grey.  This week the original JCB was back from putting a roof on in Calgary for my youngest brother Kane.  He has been on site for this project and brings an old school flare to our projects!

 Dad's rocking his

Occidental Leather

Nail Bag and

Stiletto Hammer

.  He has ingrained a love of the work and the equipment we use to do it in all of us.

 We installed 

Typar

on the foundation wall to make the exterior

house wrap

continuous with the interior vapour barrier.  We also installed

Sill Gasket

under all the bottom plates of the wall on top of our foundation walls.

 Gabriel likes to stop in after school and practice his hammering.  This is how we all started!!

 Nailing off the top plate.

 The 7/16"

OSB

sheathing is going on the walls in this photo and all the blocking has been installed.

 Can't wait to get some trusses on our project this week.
