CARGILL - BROCKTON | SUNROOM ADDITION SIDING PREP, INSULATION AND DRYWALL
Cargill - Brockton | Sunroom addition siding prep, insulation and drywall
We installed an aluminum flashing over the foundation wall lapped with blueskin flashing tape, which is covered by the Pressure Treated ledger board for the future decks and then another aluminum flashing lapping all the previous work is installed and also covered in blueskin to ensure adequate water drainage in the rain screen layer.
The strapping has been completed on the addition to create a rain screen / ventilated cavity behind the siding, 16” o.c. vertical strapping then strapped 12” o.c. horizontally in preparation for the Maibec Board and Batten siding.
The wiring rough in was completed by Tim Wells Electric. The addition was insulated by Martin’s Insulation with polyurethane closed cell spray foam. Achieving an R-28 wall and R-50 ceiling. They sprayed from the footings to the peak of the roof, including capping any of the interior double brick wall and foundation to stop thermal bridging.
We installed 1/2” CGC drywall board in the sunroom with Trim Tex drywall corner beads. All supplied to us by Welbeck Sawmill.
The addition has been taped, and the cover coat ran on all the tapes and corners, screws have all been spotted a second time.
The addition has now been skim coated with our 12” Columbia box and the screw spotted a third coat, we have skimmed out the neo angles at the ceilings with our 8” Columbia box, and we came back over all the joints with a final skim coat with our 14” Columbia box.
We have sanded out all the drywall with our sander hooked to a dust extractor to minimize the dust and have now primed the drywall with primer supplied by Farlow’s Home Hardware. Can’t wait for our windows, doors and skylights to arrive!
CARGILL - BROCKTON | SUNROOM ADDITION FOUNDATION
Cargill - Brockton | Sunroom addition foundation. We recently started this sunroom addition project, which will be a start to finish project.
Walkerton Sunbelt Rentals provided this Kubota KX080-4 mini excavator we used to strip and pile the topsoil to spread on the disturbed areas after.
Excavating the material from the foundation hole and loading to be removed from the construction site.
The Miller Group provided the cement for our project. These are our freshly poured concrete footings with a keyway cut in to receive the new foundation walls for this addition.
The walls are freshly poured and have been covered with insulated tarps to protect from the temperature drops. Chemicals have been added to the cement mix to make it generate heat as well as the cement was made with hot water because of the time of year to help it cure.
The boys (Gabriel Bender and Jude Bender) took time from school to come be a part of pouring this foundation. This gets them a hands on experience at a young age and provides opportunity for the next generation to take on and experience the work organically and develop skills naturally. Work ethic is developed and skills are learned.
Farlow’s Home Hardware provided the Home Builder fibrated asphalt foundation coating to waterproof the new crawlspace.
After the foundation coating has cured we installed Delta MS foundation wrap from Farlow’s Home Hardware to provide drainage to the new crawlspace. It is wrapped down to the weeping tile which is covered in drainage stone and filter cloth before material that was removed during excavating is place back around the foundation. The weeping tile ties into a sump pail in the new crawlspace.
The foundation is backfilled and ready for the sill plates to be installed on the anchor bolts that were placed in the concrete to secure the floor system to the foundation walls.
Welbeck Sawmill delivered our floor system and we have installed the new Pressure Treated sill plates on sill gasket and Typar house wrap. This is holding the new 2” x 12” floor joists @ 12” on centre with two runs of solid blocking to ensure a floor with very little deflection. This all gets covered in a 3/4” tounge & groove plywood sub-floor which is glued and screwed.
Solid blocking ensures all the joists stay in their place, can’t twist and makes everything binds together and shares the load on the floor joists.
Would also like to give a big thank you to Jamie Kuhl of ArchLines for all the design work on this project and with the permit process to make this all happen for our customer.
After the sub-floor was completed we covered the entire floor with insulated tarps to ensure the cold stays out of the foundation until the walls are up and everything is closed in.
WEST GREY, ONTARIO | PRICEVILLE HERITAGE LOG HOME ADDITION & RENOVATION
West Grey, Ontario | Priceville Heritage Log Home Addition & Renovation. We installed this horizontal red engineered wood siding for our customer on this project. We made and installed all the aluminum trims for this project as well. A synthetic membrane was installed on the roof for our customers chosen roofing contractor. All the windows and doors were supplied and installed by us. They were flashed with typar flashing tapes to insure a waterproof finish that will last decades.
The existing porch was kept and modified to tie into the new addition as well as extended to offer protection to the logs of the log home.
The log home had a fantastic view from the second floor, so we installed these apex shaped windows in the gable wall of the home to take advantage of it. It was one of our favourite features.
John Manville AP foil-faced 1” foam sheathing was used for the wall sheathing to provide continuous insulation over the whole addition. Providing and R-28 wall with the Rockwool batt insulation.
Prior to the install of strapping and siding we installed new Typar weather protection barrier over the existing exterior walls to protect the homes exterior.
The walls were all strapped with 1” strapping to create an air space behind all the new siding.
All the windows and doors were clad with aluminum trims we manufactured on site and installed prior to siding installation.
