We’ve been back at our own place, working hard to complete a full basement and office renovation in Durham, Ontario. This home improvement project included a brand-new HRV system, upgraded ductwork, and full framing and bulkhead installation — now moving into the drywall phase.

 You can see the main runs of duct work from our brand new

HRV

that feed fresh air to our home and remove the stale air, creating a very healthy environment for our family.  We framed a bulk head around them to hide the ducting.  We absolutely love our new spray foam insulation in the basement, it has been amazingly warm in our house during these freezing temperatures the last few weeks.

 Here you can see where we installed our new

Venmar Pro 250 HRV

in the basement bedroom closet. It will be easily accessible to clean the HRV filters every 3 month here and, to do yearly maintenance.  It also was an ideal location to run the ducts and it was on an exterior wall so that we can access nice fresh air, and exhaust the stale air.

Owen Sound Bathroom Renovation and Repair – JCB & Sons

We recently helped friends renovate their bathroom in a late 1970s Owen Sound home. The space had been poorly modified by the previous owner, and we were brought in as licensed carpenters and general contractors to address everything from a rotten subfloor to a rocking toilet and damaged flange.

 The toilet was too close to the wall and awkward to use.  We moved the main drain stack showing in this photo over 4" so that we could install the toilet at a normal distance to the adjacent wall.

 Here you can see the new 5/8" plywood subfloor we installed with solid blocking to strengthen the floor for the new toilet flange we installed.

 We reinsulated most of the bathroom with new Roxul insulation.  We also installed new

6mm vapour barrier

with new vapour boxes for the electrical outlets.  We also installed a bathroom exhaust fan, as the home doesn't have an

HRV

.  All the joints were taped with sheathing tape and the edges sealed with

acousti-seal

This opening is framed up and ready for the new

Mirolin Walk in Shower

.  We installed

Pex Pipe

fittings on the old copper pipes to hook up the new Moen shower system
