Building Materials and Construction Technology
Rickard.: What does it look like from the outside?
Småbrukaren: Sure, if you build triangular-shaped battens that you glue partly to the existing sloped ceiling and partly with some blobs on the floor, it'll probably hold without any trouble. Then place a batten on the floor between each triangle, it doesn't need to be glued but will act as a base to screw the new plasterboard into. The boards will stabilize everything. If you're lucky, you might find the
Gammelnörden: It may be that even if the main purpose of the brick part is not to have a supporting function on the floor joists for the floor above, it might have been built that way anyway. But above all, it has probably served a fire protection function for the kitchen stove that was there in the first image. However, be careful to check that it does not have a supporting function for the chimney and any
spikplanka: I can recommend the thread "Ljudisolera för sex" where many useful tips emerged that are also applicable for aircraft noise, trains, car traffic, construction work, sound studios, etc. Was there any measure that made a significant difference? Multiglazed windows seem like a low-hanging fruit, possibly two windows in succession in the same frame?
ojamaa: [citat] Hi Stefan, thanks for the info. If it hadn't been a basement wall, would you have preferred the same material? Others have said go with gipsputs.
Zlatica: Hello! Did you get any clarity on what function this transverse brick wall has? I have something similar in my house that I would like to tear down to make room for a new kitchen.
Derbyboy: I haven't gotten that far yet. Feel free to let me know how you solve it. However, I believe it should be solved like this: Roof batten, type 45x145 Bisonväv Batten, type 12mm that goes down over the flashing and lies on and along the ridge Nail batten for the sheet metal Sheet metal It's that batten that creates a space so that it's possible to set a nail batten at the roof edge and
Rickard.lj: [citat] Can use c bruk too, remember to water or prime before
Vilhelm Broman: [citat] I would have bought new doors if it weren't for the fact that these have been discontinued and they have non-standard dimensions that can't be bought at, for example, Ikea.
Stefan1972: if you don't have it in the walls, it won't help to have it in the ceiling.......Better then to have adequate ventilation.
gunsven: [citat] Thank you so much for the answer! Now I found what I was looking for 😀
Rydback: I will tackle refreshing my patio this spring and I'm thinking about how to do it. I would like to paint the beams and panels, but I have some concerns about their condition. Some are rotten and need to be replaced, but some beams and boards are very dry and cracked. See pictures below. Some have cracked quite well as you can see in the picture, while others have a rather rough surface. Do these
AndersS: And then you have to adjust based on windows and doors so that frames have something to attach to.
Bygg99a: Does anyone know what type of hinge this is? I have right-hinged for windows. Need left-hinged.
PG Lindgren: [citat] Nice to get a response from a Sollentuna resident 😀
adde_hjelm: Hello, What actually provides the best strength (most strength per mass or however you want to express it), a flat truss with a smaller roof area and consequently lighter structure? Or a truss with a steep pitch but longer lumber and more roof area? I'm planning to add a floor to the house because more space is needed, and a staircase to the existing attic already exists, so it seems like a
FGLIN: [citat] There are probably different classes not only of impregnation agents but also of impregnation depth. The surface might get a bit more impregnation, but normally pine should be impregnated all the way to the core (which can be tricky to assess on freshly split wood, but impregnation plants can use a chemical color indicator for heartwood when doing quality control, and sulfide can be used
topmount: Yes, but in this case, it only states on the manufacturer's site that you should measure the wall and adjust the alignment according to the measurement (not how to do it).
O: If you haven't smelled it since 1958, it's probably quite safe to apply a new moisture barrier and proceed. From the name "moisture barrier," you might suspect that it works just as it should if you haven't noticed anything before.
Anonymiserad 405730: Solid render mesh isn't particularly expensive, it's just that you might need to render a little thicker...
stugfar: [citat] Yes as far as I can see. However, one usually has something capillary-breaking between the column shoe and the wood, such as plastic spacers or some roofing felt or whatever is available, to give a bit of extra protection to the end grain of the post.
elmont: With a diamond hole saw/core drill, available for rent or purchase.
Tjrex: [citat] Surely no problems. I believe the roof you have will rather even out the irregularities. What happened to me in a few places was that the panels didn't fit together completely. The edges are sharp and even the slightest millimeter is visible afterwards. If the roof that's currently in place is made of chipboard/MDF, it will hold, provided it's properly secured now, of course.
Sandvik40: [citat] I'm not at the property right now, next week I will take pictures.
Skoog77: [citat] Had to help press for a few minutes initially, then it held on well.
fribygg: Buy a genuine LK water meter cabinet if you're going to redo everything; it's not cheap, but it's necessary to be able to make an installation that is approved by both the water supplier/municipality and the insurance companies.
Anonymiserad 618974: I think it holds. But it's the same thing in 99% of these threads - we can speculate as much as we want, even have educated guesses, but ultimately it's a designer who has to make an assessment, which is communicated in writing. The designer should have liability insurance. In the last percent, it's reasonable to take a gamble because the value is lower than the risk. So what any of us here think
Kurtivan: [citat] Then it's just a matter of trying if a regular joint isn't good enough.
