Honey Extraction Shed Prepped for Concrete – Southgate Build
This honey extraction shed project in Southgate—just south of Durham between Holstein and Mount Forest—is now fully prepped for concrete. We’ve completed a full rough-in of ABS drainage, including a center trench drain, overflow catch basin, and hookups for a double stainless sink and full bathroom. This is part of a larger pole shed renovation and new addition, converting a simple farm outbuilding into a fully functional honey processing facility.
With the steel roof on and framing complete, the structure is now enclosed and ready for a concrete floor pour. This type of custom agricultural build—part renovation, part new construction—is what we specialize in at JCB & SONS: helping rural property owners upgrade sheds, workshops, and utility buildings with professional planning and long-term durability.
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.
