Building Materials and Construction Technology
Fällebyggarn: Drill, fill the hole with glue, and then insert the spikplugg. That's how I would have done it.
Kenneth Hellman: [citat] That's right. Often you get stuck in a problem by starting to google and YouTube for solutions. But in this case, unfortunately, a shovel and crowbar is the way to go💪
Oscar Gramer: [citat] The casing is called Siljan and is manufactured by leksandsdörren.
Matti_75: Simply lift the bjälklag to the correct height again, preferably a little higher, and then drop it onto the beam that is at the right height.
JohanLun: I have repaired 2 roofs that were similarly damaged. It's likely lime plaster, which is quite difficult to mix and make pliable enough to apply, get it to adhere, and smooth in one go. I cheated and mixed in some gypsum plaster, so far it has held. If you use ONLY gypsum plaster, it feels like the gypsum is very different and I'm unsure how well the "joint" will turn out. Applying gypsum is
harodani87: It sounds like you all recommend using them. Then I ask: is there any good way to know what kind of wood it is? If it is impregnated (I know the color is a bit different or what)? How do I know that it is good enough for construction? I promise I'll post pictures during the Easter weekend ;)
Elspet: I think a 1cm joint is just right when I lay Leca. With option 3, you'll reach 70cm and can cast a crown of 6cm. I cast a crown of 5-6cm on our Lecagrund, and it has held up very well. You can make the form out of any boards, it takes no time at all. I would still try to borrow/rent a mixer so you can get the concrete in quickly.
Daniel__s: electric cable between the house and [citat] electric cable between house and garage (electrical panel) should go to battery
roniish: Hello, I'm currently decorating my upper floor after the carpenters put up interior walls and OSB on them. I'm happily putting up plaster and reach the "end" of the sloped ceiling. When I start on the walls, I notice that one wall section does not align with the ceiling. How should I solve this, really? If I just put up the boards as they are, the wall will be offset against the ceiling and it'll
gustavholm: Do you have to prime the wall before using plaster or can you just mix and apply it? 👍
Bagaregårdens BK: [citat] Can this help?
Bo.Siltberg: As straight and steady as when it was new, just full of junk now. (I went wild with a spray can of reflective paint one evening many years ago when I was drunk.) [bild]
jonaserik: Cement mortar A is used and also functions as grout. It is also important to dry/clean the glass, tidy up the joints a bit, before the mortar has fully set. The mortar should be pressed all the way to the bottom of the joint. Maybe you can get a few kilos from a builder, they are only sold in 25 kg and that might be too much for you. But read about cement mortar A, maybe you have another place
Christofe: [citat] Can you solve it with a surface-mounting frame?
neo11: Almost agree with the above post, especially how the lower step looks. But you can chisel away the loose part, use chemical anchors for reinforcement, and cast new parts. Sand off all the paint, and use rep 955 on the stairs. And some plastering on the back. It will be much cheaper than removing the old and casting a new one. However, a new one will be nicer, of course. Alternatively, remove it
FSoderlind: [citat] Got a response and it wasn't Casein in the sample, so it's simply that the leveling compound smells bad. It might smell a little less now than it did a while ago. With any luck, it might disappear if it gets some airing out.
Dr spikskalle: [citat] The house has been extended and remodeled several times over the years, but that wall is supposed to be original according to the previous owner. I hadn't even thought about the fact that the insulation is of a more modern type. Maybe they insulated it afterward by removing planks and filling the wall. I've probably settled on trying to fish with a hole and maybe remove a single plank if
Du och 19till: It will be hard to get everything out. But to loosen it, you can probably loosen the whole screw and lift while you turn the one that has broken off.
Sola2020: [citat] Hi! Have you built a closet under the stairs? We have such a staircase, wondering if I can look at pictures of the closet you built. Thanks for the help Best regards, Sara
yonna: I imagine that the slats hold up better if you cut them from pressure-treated better planks than if you buy ready-made ones from the hardware store. Mine have held up nicely these 20 years (one needs to be replaced due to damage) and are made from leftover planks from the wooden decks (which still 'live') when the house was built.
Lexington: Dimensions I cannot answer, but 45x195 should be sufficient, maybe even down to 120, maybe even 95?. It's really just its own weight that should be supported? Then a regular joist hanger in each building section should work.
Mazen: [citat] But it states 30 mm thickness, we are going to float 10-12 mm and it's not obvious when I try to read up on it. A plaster net is at least better than nothing, so that will have to do. Thanks for the input.
davidd: [citat] Thanks for your opinion. We want real wood and no tiles (we have that today and it doesn't look good). The neighbor has hardwood and it looks fantastic even after 5 years. My question is whether 20mm panel in thermo-furu as decking is an option at all? How sensitive to marks is it?
Tove L: The easiest way to extend the baseboard vertically if you don't want to remove and redo it
