Building Materials and Construction Technology
petterovski: [citat] [citat] The support reactions are in the calculation report for a number of load combinations. I don't know what the notations in the report stand for, but the largest one is “LK K Max”. 11152 + 21612 + 11179 = 43943 N If you remove the middle pillar, it is essentially distributed equally on the two remaining pillars: 43943 / 2 = 21972 N = 21.98 kN per pillar.
Mazen: I have that solution minus the fourth list in my hall since I removed a wall that left a hole in the ceiling .. [bild]
Bo arnold: Looks like a painted woodchip wallpaper in that case, just painted paper. If you can see seams, it might be difficult if it's been painted multiple times, very common on gypsum ceilings from the 60s-70s.
Hybro: Rip out the joints (inside the stove) 1-2 cm deep. Water thoroughly in several rounds. Grout with regular mortar. I usually throw in fairly loose mortar into the joints, as it adheres well to the brick. Wash across the joints with a damp cloth before it has fully hardened. Let it stand, preferably for a month before lighting a fire, if you're going to light a fire. If so, only small fires to
kniv: What will you have in the drawers? A few not so heavy items - glue and nails will do just fine. Do whatever is quickest and easiest.
Nygge72: How difficult is it to convert a similar construction to a gable roof with a lower pitch? Thinking about the load on the construction, does it increase or decrease with a gable roof? [bild]
useless: [citat] Yes, formaldehyde is indeed highly carcinogenic. However, one might not need to be so worried about insulation that is 40 years old and has already emitted most of the volatile formaldehyde.
Pappa1986: 300 thuja trees are ordered from the local nursery. 100-120 cm. Experienced that many available online are unreliable, and have very bad reviews. 100:-/each + soil 3-4000 approx. + lots of hours of hand digging but will start early, delivery will take place in April. As a privacy screen, we will order a 2 ×25 m from visaxl for 1000:- and set it up temporarily against a neighbor until the hedge
fribygg: It's better, faster, and cheaper to plane down the worst uneven surfaces with an electric planer and install regular standard drywall.
BirgitS: It is impossible to answer question 1 since it is impossible to know if the wall is over-dimensioned or not.
knoen: [citat] It's on the inside above ground, so my thought was to use c-plaster, but maybe that's wrong, there is kc-plaster mortar, maybe that's better?
JDA: This is how I did it yesterday, and it turned out well. Use existing threads on the pipes? [bild] [bild] I'm not quite sure I follow how you mean by drilling straight down into the pipes if you can't access them from underneath anyway? They're probably running off in some direction in the beam structure. Unless you want copper purely for aesthetic reasons, I would skip that and perhaps just
Massito: Ok! In that case, I will follow your recommendations and increase the depth. It should only be a temporary wall, but it still needs to stand stably.
Testarn: There is a reason for the price of ready-made trellises. You need furniture-dry wood that you plane to the desired dimension after letting it sit at home and acclimate for a few weeks. The type of wood depends on your preference for appearance, but it also depends on what you can find in those lengths. It could be pine, oak, perhaps ash or beech.
bo-ca: [citat] Hi, I have tried to screw without a plug. In other walls in the house, it usually works well but here it is porous. Ok, I'll try with a plug and see! The wall is about 15 cm wide/thick.
Krillehus: [citat] I was planning to wall-mount a TV. I can probably drill into the ceiling without risk. Just thinking so there's no trouble with the floor.
Harry89: Hello. I want to plaster my chimney on the upper floor to give it a smooth finish. Right now it looks ugly from the previous job. What material should I use? It's confusing for me since I'm from England and my Swedish is at best mediocre, so understanding the difference between spackle/cement/plaster/mortar can be confusing!! The chimney is in constant use during the winter. Thank you,
droopy: [citat] Took a look at the door to the kitchen.. it has A30 on it (should withstand fire for 30 minutes.) Also have a fire damper in the kitchen fan that closes at 85-90 degrees with a fusible link. I believe most interior doors can handle A15 and many A30. For A60, it requires some sturdier equipment..
Perssa88: [citat] Hello, I'm in the same situation as you were a few years ago. Which mortar did you use, and has it worked well? I've also been considering Weber dry renovation instead of lime mortar but can't find much information about it. Grateful for any responses 😊
Mjärn: Hi! How do you go about painting this? Is it sanding and a specific type of paint?
Anonymiserad 405730: [citat] The ceiling doesn't need to be attached at all to the new beams, it should stay in place on the old ones, right?
ToT15: [citat] Thanks. We're thinking of hiring a cleaning company to do all that cleaning 😊
lasso77: Thank you for the input! That's correct, they are not trusses but frame rafters. (Finished upper floor where the rooms are 3300mm wide) Of course, I assume the wall between the kitchen and living room is part of the house's structure. I'm pondering a bit on what kind of beam would be needed to support the opening and if it's worth making the modification. How much is actually acceptable for a
Matti_75: Depending on how it is wired in your house, you can remove the switch and its cables and install Plejd in the ceiling box, which is controlled by a wireless button.
Stefan1972: Now you're just mixing things up in what I'm writing..........have I said that it molds if it's dry? Why don't you write more and create evidence for what you write, other than the scare tactics everyone writes about?....... The only thing I wrote at the beginning was that it's not uncommon for there to be a bit of growth on lumber that may have been stored poorly and covered with a tarp or
BirgitS: [citat] Okay, then I misunderstood what you meant with that sentence.
