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.

Kubota KX080-4 Mini Excavator excavating for a foundation

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.

Foundation footings poured and keyed for an addition

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.

Foundation footings poured and keyed
Foundation walls poured and covered with insulated tarps

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.

my boys the next generation

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.

Delta MS foundation wrap applied with weeping tile, drainage stone and filter cloth

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.

Floor joists installed on new foundation walls after backfilling, JCB and Sons, archlines, addition, renovation, new build, carpentry, brockton, Cargill, builder, Welbeck Sawmill

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.

Insulated tarps pulled over the floor assembly to keep frost out of the new crawlspace

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 | HERRITAGE LOG CABIN ADDITION

West Grey Ontario | Heritage Log Cabin Addition, we started an 18’ x 40’ addition this past August with a conditioned attic for storage space off the back of the old summer kitchen of this beautiful Heritage Log Home near Priceville Ontario

We chose to excavate this project ourselves giving us full control of the schedule, as well as allowing us to use smaller equipment to keep the construction footprint as minimal as possible.

Two runs of rebar were ran in the 8” x 24” footing to keep it super strong set 4’-0” below finished grade to give proper frost protection.

We also formed this project ourselves with Strip-Ease forms to control the schedule keeping the project moving without delays.
