Building Materials and Construction Technology
byggkillen8264: [citat] Hi! Maybe it's late, but I have a lot of leftover material on byggöverskott.se if that would be of interest to you.
Christian Norder: I did as I described above. I used expansion bolts but filled the holes with anchor compound. In one corner of the house, rainwater from a downspout had eroded the concrete so a large part of the corner was gone. I took the opportunity to fill in the corner once I got the support beam in place (with sill paper against the support beam). It was quite easy when I could use the support beam as a
Benjamin1983: Answering myself here for everyone wondering the same thing. PL400 worked well. Don't use 4.0 screws as they recommend, instead use 3.0x30. I still had OSB underneath to even it out. Probably a good decision. The joints are not completely invisible, but I think it's completely fine.
z_bumbi: You have moisture from underneath, so to stop it you need to get under the metal. It's significantly easier and cheaper to remove the metal completely. If you want metal at the bottom, then buy a stainless (rust-resistant) one and attach it appropriately. Otherwise, asphalt might work as a floor, right? Walls, doors, etc. you can brush clean, cold-galvanize, and then potentially decide on a
Hybro: I wonder if TS has noticed any damage yet? Maybe rust on the nails?
Workingclasshero: Hello I would ensure that the studs attached to the beams are properly secured, perhaps there is some glue that can be poured between the studs and beams. It's important that they are securely fastened. Then I would cross-brace or install noggings between them, securing them with screws and glue. Last but not least, make sure that the short pieces laid across the beams between the studs are
O: [citat] You can skip the primer. Just go ahead with the finish paint directly. If it turns out well, you're done If it doesn't turn out well, you've already "primed" and can do another coat The idea is that you only need to buy one type of paint. Especially a good method if you're painting the wall white or when the finish paint isn't too expensive.
potrique: [citat] Looks great! How did the final result with the gate turn out? I'm about to build something similar.
johes: I tried with a reciprocating saw, but the blade didn't fit between the blocks, so it didn't work. Then I tried with a hammer drill, but it wasn't powerful enough to separate the blocks from each other. Finally, I was able to borrow a heavy sledgehammer and a coarse wedge/chisel, and then it was possible to break them apart without major problems. Thanks for all the advice and tips. =)
Ajefager: Vet ej om detta är rätt forumdel? Jag håller på med ett garage från Lundqvist trävaruhus. Portöppningen är 5200 bred och jag har en HEB220 stålbalk över. Jag har nu efter att jag installerat port och börjat isolera, insett att balken kommer utgöra en rejäl köldbrygga. [bild] Garaget ska bli uppvärmt och det kommer att vara kallt ute vintertid. *Balken vilar direkt mot ändträt på
haeh: I have received several inquiries about my battery box with more pictures and how well it works, so here are some more pictures of the construction now that it is completely finished. I sealed it against the wall by cutting pieces to fit between the facade boards, then there's a metal flashing over the joint. This has worked well enough for me. The roof is attached with hinges and can be lifted a
Nilo Joelsson: [citat] My thought is to let the VVSers do it tomorrow.. Even if I'm urged to do it before they arrive.
gmogmo: [citat] Why not remove the old carpet? I was given the tip of boiling water, and at least my carpet came off really easily.
Småfixren: [citat] Sure, there are differences. The entire surface is 8x3 meters. Spry 68-year-old, but 2.70 and ceiling are deterrents. Long way to rent a lift and material. Do you have knowledge of moldings with different thicknesses?
JockeUn: Here is a video [MEDIA=youtube]YMelkdOk_HU[/MEDIA]
hsahhzad: [citat] My plan is to remove the floor and see around the source of moisture! I will share the pictures
Krilleälg: [citat] Wonderful reading!
Meizter: Thank you for all the answers. I have a cast slab that the entire construction is built on. The plan was, even before I built, to use Biltema's masonry tubs and cut and weld them together so they fit my "containers." But didn't think much more about it as I was focused on finishing my build. And now that it's time to put out plantings in the greenhouse, "sure f*n," I examine the tubs, and they
byggkillen8264: [citat] Well, either auctions as most mention, or check with byggöverskott.se if they want to buy it.
DrKron: Hello! I am facing the same challenge. I have tried painting with wall paint. It looks okay, but if I start pressing on it, the paint crumbles and it's clear that the paint lies as a layer on top. Those of you who have painted, how does it look now ~20 years later?
Spikbjörn: The doors are probably the same vintage as the tiled stove, so then it's "patina". It's probably easy to polish up the worst of it, maybe almost like new, polish is available in the store (but don't use steel wool or anything else that scratches). Wasn't it "back in the day" that people often had employed domestic staff or a "housewife" who took care of such things weekly as needed? Or just as
Arne999: I will be leveling a section of the barn. I have sanded down the concrete slab, will prime, and apply 5mm+ https://www.bauhaus.se/avjamningsmassa-cm-940-industri-top-20kg The reason for this is that "regular" leveling compound is apparently not suitable for cold environments. Then paint with epoxy paint. I have leveled a few floors before but never been completely satisfied. They've been in
Rowah: Maybe not really helpful now, but when it comes to refractory bricks, a format previously manufactured in Bjuv (the brick factory was closed down in 2021) was called #7D, which was 250x75x123mm. If you have an air gap behind the wall, the 8 mm would probably not matter.
Stefan N: Built in 1980 so you can stop sending for analysis.
Matti_75: [citat] Then you're unlucky and it rains on the assembly day…
Mishevho: I was in the same boat a while back and ended up picking one of their hanging egg chairs because the filters made it easy to match my patio setup. The weather-resistant cushions have held up better than I expected, and the quick delivery saved me a lot of hassle. If you’re picky about colors or sizes, their range makes it pretty simple to find something that just clicks.
PhilipBIM: forgot to upload the results. Had to compromise with the "architect" and go down with a more practical option. Thanks for the tip to attach from the back of the plank. It turned out nice and required less work.
