Building Materials and Construction Technology
lemurenswe: Some regular IP camera with an app, etc. Have discarded it in favor of a Unifi system now.
Anonymiserad 405730: [citat] There are delete functions if you make a mistake👍
sblixten: It is most likely gypsum corners and in that case, it should not be a problem to drill through.
jonaserik: Huntonik or equivalent is probably good. How far apart are the roof trusses? All kinds of boards have a maximum distance for the fastenings. 1200 X 600 notched is normal.
jonmo: [citat] I have oversized the rafters quite a bit, so it felt completely fine to notch them. As mentioned, the sketch is from Svenskt Trä, so it feels completely fine despite the steeper roof angle.
marp68: [citat] The shorter one on the left was used before. The one on the right I just bought. I bought a new slot valve to try and installed it. Pre-drilled with a narrower drill bit than usual, and the valve fits well. Just hope it holds in the long run. Could have glued the screw, but I want to be able to change the filter in the hole. The new slot valve is a classic with two toggle levers on each
Willy Rhein: Hi! How was the result of tiling on outdoor plasterboard? Wille
Anonymiserad 405730: [citat] A sliding door is not good for soundproofing since there is no threshold or real edges for the door to seal against, but I would use 45x70 studs with insulation in the other parts, though the cassette itself won't be insulated in a 70 wall.
MikaelLunfström: Another question 11 years later. What nails did you choose in the end? Electro-galvanized 1.6mm *50 or? Planning to nail the roof on an open patio (have removed the glazing.)
klaskarlsson: [citat] Yes, of course, but you wrote "intermediate floor with blown loose-fill." I.e., insulation - but was it perhaps for sound? :)
toerq: I need to remove a part of my light rail (see image, from the red circle) as craftsmen will be performing some work. I prefer it to be done as neatly as possible. 1. Is there anything specific I should consider when removing the outlet? 2. Regarding the rail, the cover itself has a notch and it is fastened with four nails (see image). Is it easiest to use a flat screwdriver to pry it off, or is
Anonymiserad 405730: [citat] Concrete and masonry companies usually repair concrete...
Anonymiserad 618974: The consequence of too much notching is that you lose the bearing capacity of the beam. First, the floor will sag. If you remove even more, the beam will break. The exact load condition for your beam can only be determined by an engineer or over time - and it seems like there's no danger at all. You don't have a bending maximum out there, but there's some shear going there. If you want to know
Tjrex: Through so you have screw threads in the entire panel piece.
marp68: [citat] Okay But my thought was to glue the plug to ensure it would really stay firmly in place and not start to come loose after a while when you twist the bars back and forth, hang things on them etc. Screws and anchors tend to do that after a while when it comes to movements. Maybe I should have used assembly glue after all.
Jonatan79: [citat] Absolutely not vapor barrier. It's enough with nothing or vapor retarder. Ventilation is good to have I've heard… ;)
MariaiÖstergötland: [citat] Thanks, that was the right answer! 😉🙌
Trexxp: [citat] yes okay, it wasn't so easy to take clear pictures ':)
b8q: [citat] Exactly. Otherwise, the basement walls will just become colder and more humid, which can lead to other problems.
marp68: Also wondering if it's necessary to pre-drill in these non-solid wood materials. So that it doesn't crack.
Slarvpellen: Rent a construction vacuum cleaner with a filter for asbest, thoroughly vacuum the premises, wet wipe floors and surfaces where dust is present. After that, you don't need to worry about it anymore.
M H: [citat] It worked out. Thanks anyway!
Adam2303: [citat] I insulated the slab with 3 layers of foam plastic equivalent to 300mm.
Snigla: [citat] Hi! We have a new floor structure in that house anyway... but moved 10 years ago :) However, it wasn't done with "jacks"... everything was torn out and redone in the affected areas... Now we have a new house... and are considering supporting a floor with props in the basement (could make fixed posts too, but they need to be movable in case the boiler/water heater breaks down... and has to
klaskarlsson: [citat] Ah: The question is which companies/masons are available for such a repair - at least that's clarified :) Unfortunately, I don't have any answers there...
Mikael044: I am facing the same situation. How did you resolve this in the end? Anyone else with tips?
