WHITE HAS NEVER LOOKED SO RIGHT - SOUTHGATE HONEY SHED BUILD |JCB AND SONS
White has never looked so right - Southgate Honey Shed Build | JCB & SONS. This project is all wrapped up for us. Good exterior lighting was installed at all the major entrances to the building.
The original building which will be shop and storage for this honey operation is all studded in and wired. The roof was insulated with polyurethane spray foam to allow storage in the open web of the trusses. This part is ready for insulation, vapour barrier, and a liner in the future.
Over the utility room and bathroom a strong floor was framed to allow storage of any items that need to be stored up out of the way. An 8'x8' Steel Craft overhead door makes moving product from the extraction room into the storage area very easy. This also makes the extraction room easy to be contained and kept as warm as necessary to make the extraction process run smoothly.
A belt drive power opener was installed on the front overhead door with keyless entry on the outside of the building.
The extraction room received a Trusscore liner which is made local in Palmerston, ON on the walls and the ceilings. This is a food grade product keeping the room bright and making cleaning really easy. A centre gutter drain was installed to allow for washing the equipment and the room.
10' x 9' Steel Craft doors were installed at both ends. All the framing that was exposed was clad in white steel trims to stay with the white theme in the extraction room and also leave an easy to clean surface.
Insulated doors lead to the bathroom and utility rooms which are insulated as well to allow these areas to be heated during the winter. This way the entire building doesn't have to be heated but the water can be left on in these rooms for the winter.
The utility room is lined in plywood to allow the easy mounting of any equipment necessary.
The bathroom we roughed in for the future will be lined with the same Trusscore product that went in the extraction room. It will allow a place to clean up after the extraction process and will even include a shower.
This wall allows for a bug out machine to be controlled by a wall switch. This machine is used to attract any remaining bees to be collected and safely returned to their colonies during the extraction process.
We'd like to give a shout out to all our suppliers. They are awesome!
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.
WALL STEEL IS GOING ON THE SOUTHGATE HONEY SHED BUILD | JCB AND SONS
Wall steel is going on the Southgate Honey Shed Build | JCB & SONS. Was an exciting day today finally seeing some colour go on the Honey Shed Project. We really love how this new colour steel from
makes the building come together.
They Honey extraction room is being spray foamed. We installed the Typar House wrap to make a barrier between the spray foam and the new wall steel. The old building is being insulated with
Insulation and so this
on the old part with create a proper air barrier and create a sealed envelope.
The remainder of the old wall steel will be taken off and the new steel will cover the entire building. The old steel will be reused on the interior of the original building which will be storage and work shop for the honey business.
We installed this 2" x 6" board in the open web of the old building to create a spot to route the new wiring as their will be no ceiling in this part and all the wiring in the trusses will be exposed.
We had trims made to trim out the contractor grade steel insulated doors, making a nice clean transition to the new wall steel. The doors were installed with no windows to make blacking out the building easier when certain aspects of the bee keeping business require a dark working space.
This is the new utility room in the building. This is where the water comes into the building, the new 100 amp electrical panel, and catch basin for the extraction room gutter drain is located. It will be lined with plywood to make it easy to mount all the utilities, and the hot water tank will be located.
This door opening is ready for the new
insulated overhead door. We cladded all the interior with white steel to match the new liner and make a very clean surface to mount the new door track too.
