Concrete Floor Installed in Honey Shed – Southgate Construction Update
This week we poured and finished the new concrete floor for the honey extraction shed project located in Southgate—between Holstein and Mount Forest, just south of Durham. A big thank you to the Eccles family for pitching in during the pour, helping us move cement into the building efficiently, and capping it off with a home-cooked meal. Projects like this remind us how much we value working with great people on family-run rural properties.
We installed a smooth, power-trowel finish across the full interior to ensure easy cleaning and smooth movement of honey extraction equipment. Whether used for honey processing, storage, or future utility, this kind of concrete finish gives the space the durability and function it needs for long-term farm use. Another milestone checked off as we push this custom pole shed renovation and new build closer to completion.
The overhead doors, doors, windows,
insulation and the remainder of the lumber is on site and ready to go to complete this project.
New 2x6 walls which will be insulated are installed partitioning the extraction room from the shop/storage area. We also framed in a utility room and small 3pc bathroom. This will allow the water to stay on in the building without having to heat the whole building. There will be a floor framed above the utility/bathroom walls allowing storage space.
The
has a centre gutter drain to make equipment washing really easy. We also didn't power trowel the extraction room floor as smooth as the shop area as it will be getting an epoxy coating to keep the room easy to sanitize and also help protect the cement.
