RESTORATION FRAMING PRICEVILLE ONTARIO FARMHOUSE | JCB AND SONS
Restoration framing Priceville Ontario Farmhouse | JCB & SONS. The old foundation was everything but level, we levelled our new pressure treated sill plates and filled in any gaps with a non-shrink grout. This makes a solid level base for the home to be built on.
We installed a sill gasket between the pressure treated sill plate and the foundation to make sure it can never rot.
New jack posts were installed on new footings and we installed a new flush beam for the floor which won't interfere with the air flow of the new HVAC system. All the joists were installed with proper joist hanger brackets and engineered nails.
We will be using engineered Wood I's for the second floor, floor joists and the addition ceiling joists as they can clear span unsupported allowing the home to not have unsightly beams which would also interfere with duct work.
Gabriel and Jude are the Saturday crew and love to help make the dump runs.
We studded in the old basement and it's ready for the new polyurethane spray foam.
The old sheathing on the house was moldy and had to be removed, this also gave us the opportunity to use our tractor to pull the addition plumb as it was out a 1/2" and would make installing cabinets a problem had we not.
The new 5/8" tounge and groove sub-floor is glued and screwed to ensure no squeaks in the home.
This quick drive makes installing the sub-floor a breeze with its auto feeder.
LVL beams were installed in the second floor for the new stairs so that absolutely no walls or posts are needed in the room
The picture window in the old farmhouse was not original to the home, it also didn't match the height of the other windows and the lintels were installed improperly. We opened it back up and installed new lintels that were welded together for added strength.
The new ceiling joists are in so the roof sheathing was reinstalled and Grace Ice and Water Shield has been installed ready for the new shingles.
The new Wood I's are installed in the addition of the home allowing for an open concept kitchen and 10'-0" high ceilings too.

ASH STAIRS AND RAILINGS PROJECT IN WEST GREY | JCB AND SONS
Ash stairs and railings project in West Grey | JCB & SONS. We recently completed a really beautiful project in West Grey where we had the opportunity to utilize some of our skills and time in our shop. We custom made stairs, newel posts with caps, and bullnosings for a hardwood railing and stair project.
in Durham did an amazing job of creating a custom stain for us to match our clients kitchen.
The railings were mortised to take a special hidden super strong fastner to attach them to the newel posts and leave a very clean finish with no seen flush cut plugs or nails of any kind.
We had a lot of fun custom milling these really unique post caps for this project in our shop.
All of the mortises for the square spindles in the stair stringers were cut by hand on site to receive these really unique rod iron spindles. If you haven't had the opportunity to see some of our video's of some of the process involved with this project check them out on youtube.

TRUSSCORE PVC LINER IS GOING IN THE SOUTHGATE HONEY SHED BUILD | JCB AND SONS
PVC Liner is going in the Southgate Honey Shed Build | JCB & SONS. We installed 1/4"
board inside of the original pole shed prior to the polyurethane spray foam. This allowed an air space between the foam and the roof steel, and also prevents the foam from bonding to the roof steel in the event it ever had to be replaced.
Both the original pole shed and the new addition received new steel trims and wall steel to modernize the building and make it all match.
The roof of the original building was spray foamed to allow the open webbing of the trusses to stay exposed and allow more storage.
The walls of the addition were spray foamed to ensure an air tight seal on the extraction room walls to make it easy to heat and keep out any bees during the honey extraction process.
from Durham did a super clean install on these 50,000 BTU Propane heaters from
. Two heaters where installed on separate thermostats to allow the heating to be controlled in the extraction room, and shop/storage areas separately
PVC Liner is being installed on the ceiling and walls of the extraction room. Its a food grade liner, which is smooth and easy to clean, and white keeping the room bright. Also this liner is manufactured in Palmerston, ON allowing us to support local business.
