Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC stage of Priceville Reno | JCB & SONS. We have installed the new
. This adds a breathable layer of moisture protection to the outside of the home before the siding is installed ensuring the elements can't get in but your wall cavity can breath keeping it dry.
We installed really strong collar ties to ensure this rafter roof will stand another 100 years and also as bracing for the demolition portion of the job. The roof has dipped a bit over the years, so this has locked everything into place. We have now combined those collar ties with new 2" x 8" ceiling joists.
The basement walls are all framed up and ready for all the wiring, plumbing, insulation.
Because of the span on the rafters we also strapped all the ceiling with 2" x 4" @ 16" o.c. to install our drywall. This also further contributes to tying the old walls together and strengthening the old roof.
The pink things in the roof are
. These are a must to allow an air space between your insulation and roof sheathing. It allows your attic to vent properly thus preventing
1 and also making your shingles last much longer.
The one bedroom and bathroom will be receiving pocket doors. The entire second floor will be receiving spray foam insulation.
The back half of the roof has been stripped of all the old shingles and the roof sheathing has been repaired and re-nailed. We installed two runs of
along the eaves and also one run in the valley's. We covered the remainder of the roof in
. This meets Ontario Building Code, keeps the house dry until shingled, and also meets the shingle manufactures requirements to be covered under their warranty. If the roof fails prematurely and this isn't done you will not be covered under warranty.
All of the heat runs and cold air returns are in for the first and second floors. The landing is also in for the new stairs.
This wall is for the laundry shoot and also created a chase for the main plumbing stack for the house.

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.

HONEY SHED IS READY FOR CEMENT IN SOUTHGATE | JCB AND SONS
Honey Shed is ready for cement in Southgate | JCB & SONS. The drains are all roughed in for our honey shed build. The ABS drains will remove waste water from the centre gutter floor drain which will go into the sump pail catch basin and than the water will leave in an overflow allowing the catch basin to be cleaned out. We also plumbed in drains for a double stainless steel sink in the extraction room and a full bathroom.
The new steel roof is completed allowing us a dry building to pour our new floor in the building.
We have installed Typar, which will keep things dry while we pour the floor. It will also be a barrier between the new wall steel and the spray foam insulation we will be installing.
The extraction room, utility room, and bathroom all have received 1.5"
(R7.5) under the new cement floor to make a really energy efficient building. This will make the building easy to heat, and cost efficient.
The Sump Pail is acting as our catch basin, all the water from the centre gutter drain in the extraction room come to this pail in the utility room and than exit the building. The overflow in the drain has a 90 degree fitting on it to allow the water out but not allow any gasses back into the building.
We can't wait to pour the new floor for this project.
